What is bigger than the biggest number? If there is a biggest number, what is that number + 1? Is it even bigger than the biggest number? This shows that our minds have a concept of infinite as we are created in the image of God. But we cannot fit God into our comprehension as we cannot completely understand the infinite.

Okay, this is a mind boggling question, but a very reasonable one. God is eternal. No beginning, no end. If you were asking this question to dispute the existence of God, in favor of atheism or evolution, your point is null. For think of this even more mind boggling question: If the universe exists then how was it brought into existence. If existence is energy, or matter, all with a beginning - or perhaps an eternal existence - something has an unbelievable amount of power. Belief in a God without a beginning is a lot easier than a belief in a universe with a beginning that came from nothing.
About the incest at the beginning "in Genesis". You have to understand that the scope of genes was much wider then. Marriage between Brother and Sister would have worked. And if you have such a problem with this phenomenon then you cannot accept evolution. There is no way that several men and women could have evolved in the same area mutated to the precision that they be suitable for reproduction without there being some inter-marriage. Again, Biblical theory - I believe fact - is just as easily assumed as Evolution.

Even Einstein said there had to be a higher power because their were no other answers for so many questions...things that could not or can not be proven by some scientific method.
God was the beginning............He is everything we see,eat,drink,feel....we are creations of God and if you wonder what God looks like then look in the mirror because we were made in His likeness.
What we don't understand now...I know we will understand when we get to Heaven...Not all questions will be answered here on Earth.

God is a force outside of the Universe, along with Heaven, where all mortal souls go; Purgatory, where souls pay for their sins; and Hell, where the forces of evil lay.
Inside the universe is Time, the river of semi-connected events that goes on through eternity. There's Evolution, the mechanics of life and existance. There's Humanity, and it's emotions and actions. There are the minor dieties, who come in and affect our everyday life. But God is a force beyond all of that.

This a really good question, however I feel that God wasn't created, he is the creator and I would have to agree with Lyn he is the beginning and is the end, a supreme being in such a way that even the most intelligent minds CREATED begin couldn't to comprehend!

God is the universe. To everything there is a spirit and god is the spirit of everything. Maybe a speck of dust came into this universe and within that speck of dust was god and that speck of dust expanded and blew apart creating many specks of dust and where there where large spec ts of dust the fabric of space sank in creating gravity which over many years pulled in other speck of dust and then those specks of dust became things like planets and stuff and from the different particles of dust that come together in different ways on the planets came biological life. henceforth life was created from/by god. In that other universe god might have been created like we where created but then god evolved and was thrown here. Maybe that will one day happen to us. Maybe time does not exist but within our minds and our egos and time is something that we created because we are a part of god and god created us from god.

God wasnt created or formed or made. He was there before the world began. "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters."

God was not created, subjective time is an illusion, all things that appear to be happening have already happened. Our minds perceive time to organize our thoughts in sequence taking what is a chaotic world and making it orderly. We all experience the same world through different view points. Think of the world as a beautiful artwork our various lives are just different views of the same artwork but all those viewpoints are from the same person who is God a collective consciousness who is experiencing his works through us, his eyes.

Omigosh YES! THAT is what I ask and try to EXPLAIN to everyone.... I'm not religous, I do have to say. I think.... I may be an atheist. Because I believe in scientific theory. The "if god created universe, how as god created?" is my all around mind boggling question...

The creator of all could of only created himself. The initial " spark " of a new God, could only be forged by the dying embers of a fading God. Unless of course you wish to entertain the possibility of a multitude of Gods. This premise is only possible if you wish to negate the possibility of an infinitive God. Always was, is, and always will be.
