In many mythologies like in Greek and Norse. The universe was a shapeless endless void that comprised creation. Some translations call it a void aka nothingness, or a sea or place of primordial water or magical material the forged creation at the start of time. It's Creation from Chaos creation myth. Also just cause nothingness existed prior to God making the universe in Supernatural doesn't mean they weren't other things in the same endless nothingness.
