First thing to ever exist?

[GermanBarbarian]

What was the very first thing to exist (before atoms, electrons, and you get the point...)? And is it possible to get something from absolute nothing? Explain. And, does logic ultimately fail us because it fails to take into account things that we cannot comprehend/explain? Please discuss, possible reps for good answers (both sides of discussion).
