Are there sound reasons for believing in God? Is God a real person? Heb. 9:24: “Christ entered . . . into heaven itself, now to appear before the person of God for us.” John 4:24: “God is a Spirit.” John 7:28: “He that sent me is real,” said Jesus. 1 Cor. 15:44: “If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one.”
Did God have a beginning?
Ps. 90:2: “Before the mountains themselves were born, or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God.”
Is that reasonable? Our minds cannot fully comprehend it. But that is not a sound reason for rejecting it. Consider examples: (1)Â Time. No one can point to a certain moment as the beginning of time. And it is a fact that, even though our lives end, time does not. We do not reject the idea of time because there are aspects of it that we do not fully comprehend. Rather, we regulate our lives by it. (2)Â Space. Astronomers find no beginning or end to space. The farther they probe into the universe, the more there is. They do not reject what the evidence shows; many refer to space as being infinite. The same principle applies to the existence of God.
Other examples: (1) Astronomers tell us that the heat of the sun at its core is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit (15,000,000° C.). Do we reject that idea because we cannot fully comprehend such intense heat? (2) They tell us that the size of our Milky Way is so great that a beam of light traveling at over 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/sec) would require 100,000 years to cross it. Do our minds really comprehend such a distance? Yet we accept it because scientific evidence supports it.
Which is more reasonable—that the universe is the product of a living, intelligent Creator? or that it must have arisen simply by chance from a nonliving source without intelligent direction? Some persons adopt the latter viewpoint because to believe otherwise would mean that they would have to acknowledge the existence of a Creator whose qualities they cannot fully comprehend. But it is well known that scientists do not fully comprehend the functioning of the genes that are within living cells and that determine how these cells will grow. Nor do they fully understand the functioning of the human brain. Yet, who would deny that these exist? Should we really expect to understand everything about a Person who is so great that he could bring into existence the universe, with all its intricate design and stupendous size?

God is an eternal being... no beginning ... no end... no way for a human to conceive of the concept since we only have a 2.5 lb neural mass to work with to figure out such things... we are so limited in our understanding. God is not made of the same stuff we are. He is not made of atoms so ... time does not apply to God... he is absent of an event called "beginning".

First four words of the bible.
In the beginning God....
He was already there at the beginning.
John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
He always was. Always will be.
The Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end.
(Rev 1:8)

Since it is a known law that everything has a cause, ironically this must mean that there is a First Cause, otherwise you have to keep going back and back and back. This First Cause, of necessity and definition, must have itself no cause. So God, who did not "appear out of thin air" (since this means air caused God) always has existed, always will exist, and has no cause. This is impossible for me to fathom since everything I have ever seen has a definite cause.

Good question. Everyone has a creation story (science, creation) but how did it get there. Would god be infinitely old or how did nothing just randomely turn into everything we see around us.

The truth about God is so far beyond our limited human comprehension, that we cannot even begin to conceive of the origins of the eternal.
