that's a pretty good question.
You have to look into your own heart for the answer. No matter what I or anyone else tells you.
You will get alot of people quoting the big bang theory, the bible and lots of other stuff. But in the end it only matters about how you feel.
it seems to me that you are questioning some aspects of your faith. this puts you in a bit of a spot.
All you can do is consider your own opinion. Do you think he existed before the world, was he created at the same time or was he born from the world? You have to find your answer in your own faith and your interpritation of it.
I have my own opinions about god and this stuff and will not force them upon you. It is my opinion that you believe what you believe and it is not my place to tell you you are wrong. Faith is a personal journey, you can recieve help, but in the end only you can find the way that is right for you.

Go to www.watchtower.org and order a publication at no charge that will give you a complete answer to your question.
In short, Revelation 1:8 says the following: “I am the Al´pha and the O·me´ga,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.”
He has no beginning or end. He is the only thing that has ever existed without being created. The Bible explains what God was doing prior to the founding of the world (our earth).

Time is a concept that exists only in human mind, and is also a creation of human mind. Even science has proved that with sufficient speed we can beat time ! So the question has no scope beyond limitations of the perception through human sense organs! The true answer is beyond the receptivity of persons who are yet to transcend basic levels of consciousness.

The earth evolved 4.4 billion years ago (fossil records, for the doubters). God did not exist until man came into existence, millions upon millions of years later. Not long ago man invented God – then the trouble began!

To try and be a bit more impartial:
Christians believe that God is omnipresent, and being the creator of space and time he is therefore 'beyond' space and time which are purely human concepts. In the Bible, God says "“I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” (Rev 22:13).
Of course, this assumes that you believe in the Bible and God.

Infinity! Oh, Boy you need a scholar to answer this one. I am a layman but I believe in God with all my heart and soul. I see Him in the face of my children or the gentle touch on my cheek I have felt peace when I go to Him in prayer and I feel peace from my head to my toes when He lifts the burden from me. He is the One, the Omni presence and when you pray with all your heart and soul and listen, I mean really listen you know what He says. Some call it their conscious talking I believe it is God's whispers. Life is hard at times and knowing you are on God's side makes it a beautiful world to live in.

god has always existed.
my religion states that the world is only 4,000 years old. and our year is off by 33 years. my religion states that the earth was created in 6 days, up until the day christ died the earth was around for 2033 years.
so the year we actually should be in is 1967.
when people considered the calandar and year, they went by the day christ was born, rather than the year christ was hung on the cross.
