The universe must be created by one who is uncreated

To believe that the universe created itself is illogical for existence and nonexistance are not possible at the same time.

To believe that the universe is made from nothing is also illogical.

The logical conclusion is to believe that the universe is created. And that creator must not be created otherwise who created the creator? For the universe to exist the rational conclusion is that the one who created it must always exist and posses the ability to create.

All you've done really is move the problem of existence onto another, more abstract object. There's no reason the "universe" hasn't always existed in the same way the creator has in your example. That is to say, a creator is not inherently necessary here (although we should not exclude the possibility).
