Where does the universe come from?

Of what is it made? How did it come to exist? What is its purpose? By what process does it change? Is it evolving or devolving? Does it function by itself or would it degenerate to chaos without some kind of intelligent control? I am answering my take home exam in philosophy right n0w..

That is a lot of questions about the universe.

Really the answers to this would come from science and cosmology rather than from philosophy which is not an experimental or empiric science but rather the art of thinking and the general love of wisdom from the armchair position.

Cosmology and physics say that standard model explain where the universe came from: out of nothing about 14 billion years ago under processes not fully understood but in accordance with the laws of physics and quantum mechanics.
