The first verse of the Bible simply presents us with God. The rest of the Bible is an expansion on the theme of who God is, what He is like, and what He is doig. God has no beginning - He is eternal; He is without beginning and without ending. He brings about the beginning of all else through His power as Creator. The eternity of God is difficult for the human mind to understand since we are so rooted in time and are accustomed to measuring life by the passage of time.
Eternity is not simply unlimited time, forever extending backwards and forwards. Eternity is anoter dimension of existence and belongs solely to God. Time itself is a creation of God. Time is the experence of a succession of events and experiences for a created being. God existed in the dimension of eternity when He had not created time. As eternal, God stands above time just as He stands above matter and persons whom He also has created. But He may also choose to interact with persons or things within time. In this passage (Genesis 1:1), we see the beginning of all things, but not the beginning of God, for He was already living when time came into being. If God had a beginning, He too would be a creature, and we would want to worship the one who brought Him into existence. We human creatures cannot explain the existence of God. His existence will always be a mystery to the human mind.
We should not expect to be able to fully explain or even understand an infinite God because we are finite creatures.

Yes, there is a little cat-flap at the back of most Bibles and God comes from there?

Yeah I think his home turf was a mountain called Sinai. This must actually have been a volcano since Moses came back from god's place with a glowing face.

Nope. He was there is the beginning.
Why must he have a beginning? Something must be eternal, or else what was there before the first thing?

Apparently, the stars...Look into it!(remember, the bible is biased for purposes of subjugation, by its own definition and admittance)
