How did the universe happen to be?

We are experiencing a period of slack in putting forward new ideas. Our minds have been conditioned not to think outside the box. Our thinking patterns tend to use known circuits to operate and not much happens beyond the often driven roads.
Whatever you have learnt at school, heard in church, on TV, read on the Internet or in the papers, throw it out the window.
Start afresh.

What I asked for were original ideas.
Phlydwg, when you say the universe was created, you are repeating what you have been conditioned to believe. Just for once try to break free and make a new hypothesis, as Friar_Zero did. Well, no, not quite like Friar_Zero ;)
It's all good, stick to brand new smashing ideas, and be creative.
Original ideas out of thin air are fun and comedic, but if you are looking for serious answers then we need to bring in data and analysis. If you are talking about serious consideration then we can't throw out everything out the window. I disagree with Phil, but I don't think he's conditioned to believe. Just as Skrrrriti nor I are "conditioned" to believe.
Just my $0.02. ;)
You see, the point is that I believe we all are conditioned to believe in what we believe. (what a twister)
Often we do it to ourselves by getting more information on the arguments we support. By doing so, we reinforce the bias we started off with and take an even stronger position.
Scientists, individually, do the same. They start off with an hypothesis based on the assumption that what they have learned and seen so far is accurate. They often invest time and resources to confirm it. And sometimes stick to it even when colleagues elsewhere have shown them wrong. They all individually following their own scientific visions.
After reading on the New Scientist that recently theoretical physics is not producing anything new, and more data is needed, I just had a moment of frustration and I thought to take a little break.
Nothing pretentious here, just a little comedian mind expanding exercise, because after all, there is still a chance that all we assumed to know so far is not as real as it looks.
