How something can come from nothing

Well, you asked about the laws. But laws on their own can not make something happen (most certanly not something as complicated as the universe), they need something to enforce them...and that something cant be nothing. They need some sort of force, guidence, or physical matter. Its simple as that.  So even if if we say something did existe before the universe (and we dont include God) its still highly unlikely that that 'something'' caused the universe to exist

True, but it is laws that stop things from happening in our universe. The laws of our universe prevent things from coming from nothing; everything has a cause. But before the universe existed, that law may or may not have existed. Therefore, before the universe existed, things may or may not have appeared without cause. Theoretically at least. 

Everything you've said is based on the laws and logic of our universe. But before the universe, who is to say that those laws and that logic applied?
