The only thing that proves is that the universe exists. Claiming that someone created it is only moving the question, because who then made the creator?

This is a very famous point raised by theologians many centuries ago. Circular reasoning can hardly count as valid. What if the creator always existed? And besides no major religion deals with this point so I wouldn't have an answer.

What if the universe has always existed, and every few billion years or so, a portion of it explodes outwards into a completely new direction of space?
