Rod,

"Something created it" implies that there can be such a thing as time, causality and existents "before" the universe. But these things exist _in_ the universe. I lifted the phrase "makes as much sense as asking what is north of the north pole" from a cosmologist who used it to describe the question "what happened before the big bang." There can be no such thing as before the beginning of the universe.
