our minds can't comprehend that subject becuase all we think that all things have a beginning and an end... i guess you just have to ask God that question when you get to heaven.

God is the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End; He is Infinite and Eternal
It's amazing the Bible doesn't begin with an argument for God. It doesn't begin with a philosophy for God. It just begins with His existence. You see, God is not argued. The nature of God is not explained. He's just presented. In the beginning,... God.
And some will say today that there are evidences for God, but no proofs for God. Man has an innate desire to worship. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the earth shows His handiwork. Even so, we couldn't say that these would be absolute truths. They are evidences for God.
Now, there is more evidence that there is a God than there is evidence that there isn't a God. In fact, there is no evidence that there is not a God, and much evidence that there is a God.
A person who is an atheist has to be an atheist by blind faith. He has to accept by faith that everything happened. He can explain it by the theory of evolution or by whatever philosophy he wants to explain it, but in the final analysis he has no evidence that there is not a God. Yet, everything that we see tells us that there is a God. Even our own hearts that have a moral conscience tell us that there is a God.
The believer accepts the fact of God by faith. You remember Ephesians 2:8-9, "For by grace are you saved through faith, and that not of yourselves. It is the gift of God, not of works lest any man should boast."
God IS and has ALWAYS been, and will ALWAYS be.
May God bless you....as you continue seek the TRUTH.

Its like you are asking who came before "FIRST" in race.
you asked, Who created "the one" who created God? and then so on ....There has to be some stop. Lets assume that this series is everlasting infinity. In this case, we wouldn't be here. But we are here, that means there is a stop with a being who is UNCREATED. It is difficult for us to imagine something with no end and no beginning. but it is impossible for us to imagine our Creator had a beginning.
Your question is like, my brother gave birth to a child, is it male or female? Its the Characteristic of male that he does not give birth. If he gives birth then he is not male. God is Eternal, because its characteristic of God that HE IS ETERNAL. If He is not eternal, that means He is not God.
God has to be Eternal then otherwise He would have a beginning. Suppose, we say God had a beginning, then there was a time when God did not exist. It means that he needed somebody else to make him exist. So there is somebody else who is God, not him. but as we agreed that there is only one God, therefore, there is no one else who make Him exist.
When we say that God cannot be born, we are also saying that a creator cannot becomes his creation, because creation means what is in need of a creator. To be a creature of God, mean there had to be someone to create you. So if God becomes his creation, it means now he is in need of a creator. And this is absudity! As we know, A creation is not eternal. An eternal being is uncreated. We can conclude that the one God who is uncreated, has to be Eternal.
It follows by logical necessity that if God is one, and if He is eternal, Then obviously He does not beget , Nor is he begotten. Because if He beget, then He will have a child and the child will have to be God-like. So there will then be two Gods. Since we agreed that there is only one God, you cannot have two. OR If he was begotten, that means he would have father. Then the father will be older than him and more eternal than him. and we cannot have one who is more eternal than "ETERNAL"
==============================...
"Say: He is Allah, The One and Only. "Allah, the Eternal, Absolute.
"He begets not, nor is He begotten. And there is none like unto Him."
[Quran 112:1-4]
==============================...
THERE IS ONE CREATOR, AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS HIS CREATION. THATS IT. !!!

Philosophical approach to this question: Some say the universe always existed. Some say God always existed. A relatively suitable definition of "God" is the infinite creator of the universe and all beings, who is all powerful and all knowing, and everywhere present in the spiritual component.
One other of the greatest issues in philosophy revolves around questions of universals and particulars. Nearly all theologians misunderstand Jesus's statement "I am the alpha and the omega." This actually means I am the particular (alpha) and the universal (omega) (you will have to email me for the discussion on that point). God is both particular and universal (you will have to email me on this point for questions).
Scriptually there are several things said about this issue. That we know God exists from the creation and its beauty and compexity; that the knowledge of God is written in our hearts so that we are without excuse, and that the fool has said in his (or her obviously) heart that there is no God.
The lower case 'god' is used to refer to that which people worship as God which may or may not be God.
I list two references in the reference section

The answer is the union of matter and energy. In cosmology, we call this the Big Bang. The marriage between matter and energy is eternal and all encompassing. Neither exists without the other. God is this marriage, which defines all that is but is beyond our perception. Interstingly, it is reunions of matter and energy which created the Earth, and us, on ever smaller scales the alpha repeats. So I guess Genesis is correct. We are CREATED in the same manner.
The creation of matter and energy was coincident, simultaneous. This was thought to be a fluctuation from a zero state of nothingness. One could argue that matter created energy and vice versa, but the intelligence arises from their union. So the answer, precisely, is nothing created the something which created God which is everything.

God is the formless, genderless, eternal energy source of life. Every soul is an expression of God, therefore God is within us all. God is not a "being" out there somewhere. God is the eternal process of life, both seen and unseen, understood and inexplicable.
The fact is, no one can say for sure whether or not God was "created". The truth is far more vast than our limited human consciousness can concieve of.

There is no one that create God, let me begin by saying that 500,000 millions of years ago, and, yet, in an unknown area of Space, there was God, an Energy, a pure Energy, aware of HIM-Self, that was to become aware of the forces of Time. Though God was aware of HIM-self, HIM(God), will wait, for time to calm down, God was with time, and became HIM-Self, an HIM will take control of the forces of time, in self defense, this will allow HIM, to become an infinite energy of awareness, and in his own awareness of time, conscious that the forces of time were nothing to play with. Since then time has come under his command. More time will pass by, around God that in time will create what we know as the infinite condition and consequences of time, consequences and conditions than that of Time God have create for HIM-Self, simple because he didn't wanted to be batter by not one, not even by time nor the forces of time, nor the different dimensions of time.

According to Hinduism, God is, and God is all that exists. This reality is part of God, and there may be many other realities that are part of Him as well. No one created him, because he is everything. God is just the name given to what exists, so that we may interact with this conciousness.
