If GOD created the heavens and the earth, man and beast, who created GOD?

Question

Best answer gets 10 points and an extra ten when I post part two

Answer 1

This is not easier said than this.

God like a human had a mother and father in another dimension. If youo humans were created in its image then why do you not know this.

Answer 2

The quick answer is no-one, God was always there.
Genesis starts: "In the beginning God..."

Now we know that everything that happens has a cause. It's called "cause and effect". If I let go of a ball, it will drop to the floor. If I clap my hands it will make a noise.

Well everything that exists is there because something caused it to exist. A cake might exist because I mixed the ingredients together and put it in the oven. The sugar exists because it was grown in a field.

Now we can go back in time to look for a 'first cause.'
One common idea is that the big bang started it all off. (Whether it did or not is a different discussion.)

But, what caused the big bang? Well, something caused the big bang, and then something had to cause that, and something else had to cause that, and then something else had to cause that. Of course, I'd have to go on forever, for infinity.
But we can't. Time can't go off infinitely into the past, because if it did, it would never reach today. If inifinity ago existed there would be an infinite amount of time between then and today, so it would never actually reach today.

There has to be a beginning. Or else we'd never be here today. Something had to be the very first thing, not caused by everything, just there. So "In the beginning God." Nothing or no-one created God, he's always been there.

I hope you can follow the reasoning and the answer's been helpful. Ask for clarifications if you wish.

Answer 3

If you look in the book of Pslams 82 a short chapter, but it definitely refers to two different gods, El and Yaweh. El is the god from which all the other gods extend, and now has become the pagan god of the Sky, while Yaweh was one of his son, whom Christians now refer to as GOD, as were all of the other gods in attendance at this counsel. I do not know if there is a mother, but the Christian God definitely has a father. If God created Man in his own image, and man has a natural need to propagate with the opposite sex. It would then be obvious that God understood man and woman relationships. Why? Maybe he too was a product of such a relationship. Remember, Genesis is not the first book in the Bible written, it is placed inthe beginning simply because it tell the story of the worlds "creation". The oldest book written in the old testament is Job. If you were to study all of the worlds creation myths you will see Genesis' obvious similarities. People, moses did not write Genesis, but if he had he was influenced greatly by the Egyptian and, with whom he lived with for the first thrity years of his life. Look at their creation myths and you will be surprised.

Answer 4

Did God have a beginning?

Psalms 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) 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)  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?

Answer 5

We're created, and we were created inside a realm governed by time. God created time, it was the first thing he did. And thus we're not only subject to it, but even our thought processes and reasoning are based on time.

God isnt part of time, he doesnt have to abide by the rules of time. Because he is eternal. Its really hard as creatures who only know a beginning and an end to understand a lack of that. Eternity isnt just from this moment on. Its forever BEFORE and forever AFTER. God always was and always is, he created time as a part of our world.

We're the ones who cant fathom a lack of beginnings or endings. Partly because we're created, (which in itself is a property lacking in something eternal) and because we're subject to time.

Which by the way is the only thing that makes distance relevant. If it werent for time we could be anywhere and everywhere all the time any time. Just like God.

Answer 6

A certain spark of life (still unknown, but it could have been as simple as lighting striking the earth) gave rise to blue-green algae giving rise to more and more complex beings until finally after millions of years humans came along. We had emperors and kings who were looking for some way to remain in control. So one guy or many guys or who knows who came up with the idea of a greater being. They would tell their uneducated masses that the great power from the sky or the sea or where ever was watching them and that he said the king shall be your king until he dies and when he does his son gets the throne. The people, oblivious to the power of contemplation went along with this theory because they now had someone to blame for droughts and floods and stormy weather. Through the many years the thought adapted to cover things like where did we come from and where will we go after we die, so that now, anyone who wants to can convince themselves that after you die you'll enter into this great thing called heaven and you'll live forever in happiness. Religion is the original opiate, the calmer of the people, the unseen hand that will guide you to the path most traveled and allow those in power to have a reason to go to war, and an excuse if they lose. So there you have it, man created god, to give him an answer to who created him, and to have someone to blame when things go wrong.

Answer 7

Dude, look closer~ contained in the starting up God created the heavens and the earth. What day did he create them on? Now the earth became formless and empty. Darkness became on the floor of the deep. God's Spirit became hovering over the floor of the waters. What day did God create the floor or the waters, what more effective darkness exists!!!! None of that stuff, became created on such and any such day, woot! you're precise the earth became made previously the solar, it does bypass antagonistic to reality, yet GODS SUPERNATURAL, so it do not remember until eventually your wise sufficient no longer to fall for that bull. in case you pick to understand more effective contradictions contained in the creation i am going to provide them to ya, there is gota be a minimum of 20ty. Genesis1: 5 God referred to as the mild Day, and the darkness he referred to as evening. And there became evening and there became morning, the first day. there is not any such element as evening and morning, with no solar, it really is previous supernatural its idiotic.

Answer 8

God was already an image living....He was not created nor 'made' by Paris Hilton, or anyone. God was an image already living upon this World (well Heaven). God doesn't have a creator. He's the creator of everything, nothing is His creator, just His creations.

God Bless and good question!

Answer 9

Astrophysics seem to have the answer. "Dark Energy and Dark Matter" appears for now to be the "First Cause". So we can take it for the time being that God was created by the First Cause using the Mind Of Man.

Answer 10

If you make it to heaven you can ask him, and know all the mysteries. But I believe God is God! The Great I Am! He Is!And Creater, something our minds cannot even comprehend because he is so huge. We are but grains of sand. I honestly think he was not created, but WAS and IS and Is To Come!!

Answer 11

I'm going to ask God that myself when i get to Heaven. It says in the Bible that if there are any questions we don't have answers to in this lifetime, we will have our questions answered and know everything we don't know here on earth when we go home to God.
