God said that he is the Alpha and the Omega the beginning and the end. No one or entity created God, it is a mystery to us since our finite sinful minds cannot comprehend things that are perfect and eternal. However, i am sure that what God says is true and that He is the beginning. When we get to heaven I am certain that we will understand it in its fullest.

This is the ultimate question of beginnings. Everything we can see and touch has a beginning. It was brought into being through or by something else. What then, is the beginning of the beginning? There are two possibilities. Either the universe itself has no beginning or end, or there is something that created the universe. The universe with no beginning or end would be like a serpent chasing its tail. Time would be seen as a circle in which the end actually becomes the beginning forever repeating itself. Some scientists actually explored this possibility based upon the Big Bang Theory. It is possible, they said, that the universe goes through an endless cycle of expansion and contraction. The universe is currently in a state of expansion. This is observable fact. The argument is that this expansion, caused by the force of the big bang, will eventually succumb to the force of gravity. The universe will begin contracting. This contraction will inevitably lead to the universe collapsing in upon itself and another big bang. No need for a creator. The alternate possibility is that the universe will keep expanding forever and ever. Gravity is insufficient to overwhelm the force of the original big bang. In this case we are back to the question of who or what started the whole thing up. Interestingly enough, the case of an ever expanding universe is impossible in the universe as we know it, because if the force of gravity is inadequate to bring about the contraction of the universe then the original big bang could never have happened!, and yet there is overwhelming empirical evidence that says it did! In this model, an external, unknown source must have set the thing in motion. The evidence of empirical astronomical observation is increasingly on the side of the ever expanding universe model indicating a creator, who we call God. The implication is that the one who created, i.e. God, comes from nowhere in the physical universe. He simply is, that which has no physical beginning.

Most people don't get that if you propose a complex creator to create the universe, then it is far more likely that you can have a simple impersonal beginning to create the universe. If creation needs a creator, then so does a creator. If a creator doesn't need a creator, then neither does the universe.

We don't know that our universe is the only universe. We don't know if the universe is contained within something else. We don't know if the universe will eventually contract or die out. We don't know.... However, the god of gaps is not be envoked, why not say I just don't know, instead of inserting a god into the equation, which we just don't need.

What I can say is that the universe appears to have an impersonal creation, i.e., no intelligent driving force behind it based on observation of the natural world and science discoveries to date. None of them suggest a creator, the best you get is an unknown, which as said does not mean you bring the God of Gaps into the equation. (and the gaps are getting less all the time too)

No one can explain where God came from, however, the Hindu belief is that even we souls are eternal and were never created, and never will die, only our material bodies die. As one material body dies, the soul moves onto another body.

The real question you need to ask is whether you think that all that we are and see around us just came about by chance - isn't this possibly just as implausible?

As we appreciate that we do not know everything there is to know, we decide to check it for ourselves whether the explanations given in the scriptures add-up.

A lot of people have a very rudimentary understanding of scriptures, e.g. God created the earth in 7 days or that the creation is only 5000 years old and somehow they think they know a lot more from science and feel able to challenge the scriptures. A closer examination will lead you to examine yourself and nature a lot more and question whether everything really came about by chance or whether there might be some force/God which created all this.

My challenge to evolutionary theory is that :
1. Why aren't there any humans still evolving from monekys?
2. Why aren't there any humans who have evolved a little bit further by having extra sense organs or highly evolved sense organs?

If humans have evolved from monkeys over 10's/100 thousand years then surely we should find some humans with a differing degrees of evolvement.

The creation argument stands up more in this regard since it can be seen that God was intelligent enough to design a human who did not need constant tinkering/adjustment.

I would advise that you read some scriptures for your yourself. Keep an open mind and try praying to God to guide you. If you are sincere enough then you will feel God's guidance.

In following scriptural injuctions, there is no loss in personal freedom as some people wrongly assume, there might even be beneficial effects.

Good Luck.

God the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. I hope you can accept by FAITH that He is and has always been in existence. Not everyone believes in God and that Jesus came to save and not condemn. The Apostle Paul says this "I have been all things to all men that I might save some." I don't the Bible tells us that everyone is going to be saved, thus you will get people mocking the Word of God. Seek and you will find, knock and the door will be opened. :)

God is eternal. he has no creator, He is 'the' creator. He has always existed.
Regarding what people have told you with repenting, I won't say that. But I will say that you are an amazing person, and you are loved by an amazing God, who sent his Son to die on the cross so that you can be forgiven. Personally I think he deserves our praise and thanks, and our repentance. What you do with it is up to you. But if you don't do anything it shows you that you are ungrateful.

You can't create something from nothing, this is the error in thinking for the supernatural believers.
So there never was nothing, there is and was always something that just keeps changing and changing for eternity.
