The short answer is that space itself had to be created at the start of the universe.
Both Genesis and current cosmology are in perfect accord when it comes to semantics of the Biblical passages.
Genesis starts ' In the beginning ..." which, in the Hebrew, is better translated as 'at the beginning of time' It goes on to say that the earth was 'without form and void' and, again, in the Hebrew a better rendition is to say in modern language, the universe was non-existent.
Modern cosmologists agree that at the moment of Creation - or 'the Big Bang', as well as matter being created, time and space were created also. So to say 'what was there before' is as meaningless as saying 'what letter comes before 'A'in the alphabet. There wasn't a 'before' as time was created at the Big Bang. This is confirmed by Einstein's Special and General theories of Relativity which predicted the expansion of the universe from the Big Bang and which produced radiation now detectable in the microwave spectrum. So there wasn't anywhere where the space could come from before the boi bang.
One has to realise though, that this 'Big Bang' did not explode into space that was already there. There WAS no space. There WAS no before. Nowadays we can measure the expansion of the universe still, as a remnant of this Big Bang, but the galaxies that are fllying apart in the universe are not moving through space that is already there; it is the space that is expanding - in other words,, they galaxies are being carried on a tide of expanding space.
So, the space for the universe came from nowhere - for at the big bang there was no space.

The origin of space is still not completely understood by science. Some theories suggest that space itself may have come into existence during the Big Bang, while others propose that it is a fundamental aspect of the universe that has always existed.

∙ 8y agoSpace is infinite and cost-free. Unlike the creation of the universe 11.3 billion years ago, space is uncontroversial because it is 'nothing' and did not need to be created. In fact, some cosmologists now believe that there are many universes in space, collectively known as the 'multiverse'.

Is the universe in space or is space in the universe?
The universe IS space, plus everything that's in it.
Is the universe another word for space?
No, the universe encompasses all of space, time, and matter. Space refers to the physical dimensions where objects exist, while the universe refers to the entirety of all known and unknown matter and energy.
All of space and everything it contains is called the?
All of space, all of time, and everything in them, is called the "Universe".
Everything in space is part of the?
universe. The universe encompasses all of space, including galaxies, stars, planets, and other celestial objects. It is vast and constantly expanding.
How far could you travel in space before you come to the end?
Space does not have an "end" like a physical boundary. It is infinite and expanding. As of now, the observable universe is about 93 billion light-years in diameter, but there is no known edge to space.
How did space ever come?
The big bang might have created the universe.
Is the universe in space or is space in the universe?
The universe IS space, plus everything that's in it.
Where does the bamileke drum come from?
it comes from a village in a city in a country in a continent in the world in space in the universe
Is most of the universe is empty in space?
yes most of the universe is empty space
Everything in space is apart of the what?
Everything in space is part of the universe or cosmos.the universe
When was NASA Space Universe created?
NASA Space Universe was created in 2006.
Is outer space and the universe the same?
Not quite; outer space means space beyond the Earth's atmosphere. The universe includes everything (including the Earth) - so you and I live in the universe, but not in outer space.
What is beyond the expanding universe?
The universe contains space and time. "Outside" the universe, there would be no space or time, and without these, nothing can exist.
Does your universe travel through space?
Not really, since "space" is just one part of the universe.
When does transformers universe come out?

What is the description of the no boundary universe theory?
The no boundary universe theory, proposed by Stephen Hawking and James Hartle, suggests that the universe has no boundary or edge in space-time. According to this theory, the universe is finite but unbounded, meaning it has a closed geometry like a sphere. It proposes a way to describe the origin of the universe without invoking a singular starting point.
Can there arise any situation in this universe that is a no-space-no-time situation?
Possibly, except the universe would either have to cease to exist or the situation couldn't be here before such a situation would come to be. Space and time are branes in our dimension and for a point to be no-space-no-time, it would have to exist outside of our dimension.
