The universe, which is grasped by the senses or minds, which can be considered as existence, expresses all of the events and beings outside of God and is one of the most important subjects of philosophy, is an issue that has been emphasized by philosophers and theologians throughout history. Because, by nature, human being is intelligent, thinking, questioning, perceiving and trying to make sense of what he experiences. Since its existence, by its very nature, it has begun to question everything that it experiences, first of all its existence, its interests and perceptions. Who am I? My what? Where and how did I come from? Where is my place in the entity field? How did this universe come into being? Does the universe have a beginning? When did it occur? Is the cause of the universe due to something other than itself or something other than itself? Human has been busy with many questions like this and tried to produce answers within the framework of his own knowledge. Every question and every answer that comes with it has been accumulating cumulatively in the later periods, various theories of existence have emerged, along with the divine knowledge presented in the holy books of the theological religions, especially for the existence of the universe. The theories that emerged in the history of thought in existence are closely related to what kind of an idea they have of God. Or it is closely related to whether they have any God vision, or how they understand the concepts of God's will, omnipotence, creation. In this sense, fundamentally three approaches have emerged, namely the theory of eternal matter theory, the theory creation of ex nihilo, and the theory of emanation. In this study, we will examine and evaluate the theories of existence that emerged in the history of thought.
