Gremlin I have contemplated this question for many years. The conclusion I have come to is this. For the Universe to exist today one of two things that we deem to be impossible has to have happened. Either something materialized from nothing, or something always was. At that point that we call "the beginning" one of those two things was fact. Which one, we may never know. So for me, "In the beginning God created" is as good an explanation as any. It cannot be proved or disproved. Perhaps it may be stated that in the beginning God said "BANG!!!". Perhaps God's previous job was just being an idea. Perhaps it was being the Idea (logos). Then the idea exploded into being, and God said "BANG".

Because we were created our minds automatically assume everything else was created. Our minds cannot grasp that something can exist without being created. Also, God is doing the same thing He has always been doing, knowing and loving Himself in the form of the Holy Trinity. God was not created, He always was. Another reason why we cannot grasp this is because we live in time, but God does not. He lives in eternity.

God was the first person on earth .. he created Adam and Eve .. which later went out to creat everyone in the world now. He even created you, so if it werent for him you wouldnt be here. So yes God did create everything and everyone and no he wasnt an accident because then we would all be an accident. I am a christian so i do believe that all this is correct. thank you.

You are making the same assumption that so many make and taking God down to a human level. Omnipotent, means that God was not created. to come from somewhere is a human thought. Humans cannot comprehend things that do not work like the things in their world. God is not of this world. God is not something to be created. It is hard for humans to understand this because they need to see things and they want God to be as small and insignificant as them.

God was not created. He has always been and will always be. You just have to believe that he is who he is and that he created everything. He was/is not an accident. He is perfect and he is ment to be. You are talking of him as if he were a man. He had no "job". His son, Jesus, was a carpenter though. No one knows why he created our universe, but he did, and that is all that really matters.

I'm not Christian, but I do believe in God.
Like the last poster wrote, God created everything, and that includes time. God existed "before" time. Asking what was before God is impossible.

To understand where God came from you must understand the idea of duality. The world is made of two parts, the physical part which is linear in time and space, and the spiritual which has no limits (kind of like a circle has no edges). The creation of the world as we know it is the direct manipulation of God from the spiritual world onto the physical world. Slowly over time the spiritual world is imprinting itself onto the physical world till eventually the physical world will cease to exist as the physical world and will merge into the spiritual world (ie the rapture). This process will continue indefinitely.

It is hard for the human mind to grasp, but there is nothing before God. There is nothing after God. Before the universe, there only was God. I know it may be hard for you to really grasp, but there is nothing else a Christian can say. We can't explain the ins and outs of God. He is God. He is beyond explanation. We only hope that someday when we meet Him face to face that all of our questions will be answered in a blink of an eye and we will never wonder again.

Adam and Eve? Do people still believe that fairytale/myth? Have you been to school? Why don't you all use the brain that God created and think?! Imagine being given a brain by the Almighty and NOT using it properly. I should imagine God's pretty annoyed with all you blind believers.

The Greeks sort of side-stepped this one, by saying Zeus and Hera and the 0lympian deities were the offspring of Chronos and Rhea.
But who brought Chronos and Rhea into being!?
They avoided that one, this way (sounds familiar?):
Before the pantheon of gods and goddesses looked upon humanity and Earth from the heaven-world of Mount Olympus. there were only the primal divinities Chronos and Rhea (literally, Time and Flow). There were no other beings, for as soon as Rhea would give birth to a new form, Chronos would eat them.
