Original Question

What was here before the universe? Who created it?

Answers

1

Given this is a site about logical fallacies and not physics nor theology, I will assume you want us to evaluate the question for fallacies.


"What was here before the universe?" 


This is begging the question that 1) there was something 2) there was a "here" and 3) there was a "before" - lots of assumptions that don't make sense without time or space.


"Who created it?"


Again, classic question begging. The question implies it was "created" and further, created by a "who" rather than a "what".
