These should help explain that they were created by Eternity.
Props to Galan for the scans:

Here is more info - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestials
One thing that I found interesting, was I saw a scan where they went to the dimension where M-bodies were created, and it showed the legs of one of the celestials.
This indicates the possibility that their real selves aren't something which can be physically manifested, and that their armored forms are really M-bodies meant to contain a portion of their essence. Celestials can pretty much instantly re-create or fix any parts of their bodies that are broken, shown when the destroyer fought the host of celestials. He chopped off one celestial's arm, and within moments it was recreated exactly as it was before, and Thor hurled the sword through Arishem's chest, slicing clean through it, and Arishem simply withdrew the sword and instantly healed the wound.
This would correspond with the idea that the celestial's true forms exist outside of the physical universe; it would also explain why they were able to survive the extinction of the prior universe and subsequent rebirth, and exist across all of the multiple universes within the multiverse that contains the 616 universe.
Another possibility is that they are creations of multi-Eternity, not the single-universe Eternity.
