Buddhists have no creation story like many religions and do not waste time pursuing an answer. By the very nature of the question (nobody is still around who knows) and the lack of a deity to act as a causative force it is pointless to purse the question. If the question was to be pursued the effort would negatively impact the ime available for the questioner to become more skillful at living according to the Eightfold Path.

The questioning of the origin of the Universe is likened to man shot with a poisoned arrow stops the doctor from treating his would by a series of unanswerable questions every time the doctor sets to work. He asks "Who shot me?" "Who trained him?" "Who made hos bow?" " Who made his arrows?" Eventually his time passes and he dies with hi questions, no answers and no treatment.
