The only attempt to answer your question (which is, I take it, "Why is there something rather than nothing?") I've come across is from Peter VanInwagen, who in a nutshell argues that there is something because God necessarily exists, which is equivalent to saying that God is the cause of his own existence. Naturally Peter puts it better than I do.
