"...We all are created to have an eternal soul, but before we were made to flesh, where were we? We had to have existed. We can't just be "unexisting"? We had to have existed somewhere before coming down to Earth."
It seems like you're describing Jesus who was "in the beginning with God" (John 1:2)! Indeed, our soul continues to live after our physical body dies, but we are not eternal as God is eternal. Scripture teaches us that we did not exist until we were conceived in our mother's womb, nor did come down to Earth as Jesus did (John 1:9, 14).
Theologically, this doctrine is known as "creatio ex nihilo" meaning "creation out of nothing." God created the world (including human beings) out of nothing. John 1:3 affirms this: "All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made." God (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) is the only being that has existed for eternity. Human beings have not. We were created by God; made from pre-existing matter' conceived in the human womb at a precise time in history.
