The immediate answer is God-just ask any seven-year-old. Without wanting to get overly technical (or to contradict any seven-year-old) I do want to point out that the immediate answer, while correct, does not say all that can be said about the matter. Of course God created the heavens; however, if we read carefully we will see that a more nuanced explanation is unveiled in Scripture.
Consider Psalm 33:6, for example. The Psalmist asserts that, “By the word of the LORD the heavens were made.” According to this passage the LORD is the source of all created things whereas his word is the instrument through which he created.
How did God create the universe? He spoke it into existence. His word created all things.
This should not surprise us because it is not new information to us. The first chapter of Genesis gives us the narrative account of God creating the universe and each time something new comes into existence it is as a result of God speaking. (Genesis 1:3, light; Genesis 1:11, trees and plants; and so on).
Believe it or not this would not have overly surprised a Greek philosopher in the first century either. They, too, had an understanding of the universe that allowed for a rational force being at the heart of all created things. A word in action, a rational plan being carried out, an ordered expression of supreme intelligence: all of these philosophical ideas were captured in the Greek word, logos. This force, the word (or at least a word) was responsible for the creation of the universe.
What would have shocked the hair off of any Greek philosopher is exactly what created such a scandal among the Jews: the New Testament’s claim that the instrument of creation, the Word of God, the logos, became a human being. Such an idea was preposterous to a Greek and blasphemous to a Jew. And yet, that is exactly what the Prologue to John’s gospel asserts.
Who made the heavens? Jesus did.

I feel as though this point should be mentioned since no one else decided to. First of all, your argument does not include facts; all that you have done in your explanation is include quotations from an extremely bias source, the Bible. It is about time people start to question what authoritative figures say before believing it, or, even worse, before they start to teach it to others. Your answer that you are trying to answer has no scientific support, and it does not explain how God was created in the first place.
I would also like to point out that the Bible says the Earth was created about 6000 years ago. If you have any knowledge in carbon dating you would find several contradictions right there. Yes, it is not completely accurate, but at least sane people wrote it with intentions to teach than to give people a false sense of security and confidence.
And, I assume, you know how big the galaxy is? If you do not, I will tell you anyways. You do not know how big it is; we have had telescopes focus on one part of the sky many hours in a place scientists believed to be a complete void; however, after reviewing what the telescope captures, there were thousands of galaxy’s inside that one minute spot, so do you really believe that God made all this for us, the human species?
I do not mean to be rude I would just like it if you were to post about something aside from things that you are completely ignorant about.
