why is there something rather than nothing? - a question on why our universe existed from nothing

we know our universe starts from nothing
No? How else do you think religions like Christianity exist? It all comes from the logic that you can't create something out of nothing so ultimately there needs to be a god that pushed the universe into existing. Eastern philosophy like daoism does state that from nothing everything spring up so they have a different view on what nothingness is, but it's definitely not something that we "know". We don't "know" because that's impossible to know with our limited cognitive abilities.
