That's the question that needs to be investigated. We say that a statue is created from a lump of clay or that two bosons collide to create an electron-positron pair. But what if you have something that you can't find what it was created from? Will you take that as a counter-example or will you insist that there must be a source as yet undiscovered (& on what basis)?
