2nd Topic I encountered in 'Sophie's World'

Sophie received a letter by some unknown person. That triggered her mental discussion about 'Life and Death'. Now she had received a second letter, probably from the same person, and it wrote: 'Where does the world come from?'. That triggered another mental discussion about the existence of the Earth, the galaxy, the universe. It ultimately led her to think about the existence of God:
"But if space had come from something else, then that something else must also have come from something. Sophie felt she was only deferring the problem. At some point, something must have come from nothing. But was that possible? Wasn't that just as impossible as the idea that the world had always existed?"
And:
"But then she started to think again. She could accept that God had created space, but what about God himself? Had he created himself out of nothing? Again there was something deep down inside her that protested. Even though God could create all kinds of things, he could hardly create himself before he had a "self" to create with. So there was only one possibility left: God has always existed. But she had already rejected that possibility! Everything that existed had to have a beginning."
