>How did that come to be?
As it for how it came to be, the idea is unification energy released by the bigbang seperated out into individual forces as space expanded ahead of it and cooled, allowing the potentials within them to interact upon one another in varying ways, bringing about the standard model of particle physics, allowing them to create bonds of simple matter (hydrogen/helium). The mass that resulted in turn brought the simplest atoms together, recombining it into heavier elements, mostly inside stars, which through collisions and the death throes of their explosions, released their creations - rinse and repeat.

Or for the really short version:

There is, technically, a point in time in the universe's evolution where gravity didn't exist as an independent force though, however inconceivably brief.
