Nobody created God. He just is. In the Bible He told someone to tell people who He is by saying, I Am, sent them. He is and always will be the beginning and the end

Good question, by the way!

If it makes you feel better, I believe God was made by Gertrude the Turtle, upon the shell of which the earth sits upon.

The all-mighty Gertrude was made by Shiva, the Goddess of Creation and Destruction (she's not a cheap date, but worth every penny).

However, Shiva was born from a blood clot shed by Allah, prophesied by Mohammed (free advice: if you ever draw a cartoon of Mohammed, DON'T let get it published).

Allah's partner in crime was Jehovah (who recently retired the rap game).

Jehovah has a son named Jesus Christ...but J.C. caused nothing but trouble (ask apostle Peter and he'll just deny it); instead, I defer you to Jehovah's uncle, the Buddha, who was making miracles and balancing taxes before JC was a flash in Magdelane's eye (approximately, about 500 years before Magdelane even had an eye).

Now...here's the confusing thing: because Buddha instituted this whole "reincarnation" thing, there's no telling, really, who created what definitively because apparently, we've ALL "been there, done that" before...even being gods.

Maybe YOU'RE the ultimate creator but just forgot; old age will do that to you.

You might think that's far-fetched, but I ask you, "Who won the Oscar for Best Key Grip in 2004?" I bet you can't remember and that was just two years ago: imagine trying to remember that unknown aeons ago, you created the universe!

Imagine all the royalty checks you should have rolling in, all the props and shout-outs. All the honies.

However, you'd also be bombarded with all the inane questions, like "Creator! Why are we here?" "What's the meaning of life?" "How do I cope with male-pattern baldness?"

This would be annoying as you've only just remembered you're the progenitor of all existence.

Best to stay low and keep that knowledge on the hush. (tee hee... I may have just gave The Creator advice! LOL [you can return the favor anytime: wealth, a mansion and a harem would be a most acceptable compensation]).

And an extra 2 inches added to my "confidence".

There are at least several possibilities. The first is what many of the other answers have alluded to, that god is beyond space- time and therefor the question of who created god is illogical. A good summary of this argument can be found at http://www.carm.org/questions/God_created.htm. Implicit in this explanation is that god has intelligence and deliberately created our universe and all within it.

A second possibility is that there is something eternal and uncaused beyond our universe (which current evidence suggests had a beginning apparently and therefore is caused) but which is not intelligent and did not deliberately create the universe. In this proposal, our universe is only one of many that arise from an eternal sea of possibilities (called "quantum foam" and other terms). Our universe has yielded ordered structures, intelligence and other features because it was fortuitously generated with universal constants that would inevitably lead to these. In contrast, many other universes generated from the "quantum foam" have an untenable collection of constants that do not lead to the conditions necessary for life and intelligance to develop. There are many variations on this hypothesis, including the idea that universes evolve and split off progressively more complex and ordered "subuniverses" . For one example of a discussion of the "multiverse" hypothesis, see "Before the Beginning" by Martin Rees.

A third possibility is that we really dont have a clue how the universe came into being and or how it operates and that it may be much stranger than we currently appreciate (see "Warped Passages by Lisa Randall for an example of how weird it may all be). Even the evidence for the big bang which demonstrates that the universe must have a beginning (and therfor caused) may be misleading and it remains possible that the universe we live in is in fact endless and beyond time and therefor needs no creator or creation.

Seems to me we simply dont have the tools yet to discern between these and other possibilities and that our energies are best devoted to continuing to ask questions (like yours).

Its this simple....NO one made god
think about this what you are saying is that nothing made the universe...but nothing will always be nothing 0+0+0 still = nothing.
So we put something there that is called 1 many people think this GOD
they are wrong. You cant give a name to existence it is just existence,though you can give a name to the maker of the human race..you can call this god.
The universe as we know it is making itself...astrologers see the birth and death of stars happening as it is.
The only conclusion that can come from nothing which i talked about earler is if nothing collapes. To form something which i call a black hole.
There is more to this theroy that nothing did make something since its collapse and gravtional pull on light itslef which is what the universe started with..thats why we see stars in the sky instead of all light only parts of the sky is this means that light was ripped apart at one point in time the coz theroy states the only way that nothing could making something is if 0=0 with infinty after both zeros....well i got stop yammering peace!

By the word, "ultimate", it is saying that he is THE one who created everything and somehow God was just there and He didn't need any creation at all.

I am not saying that you believe in the evolution theory. My question is, who created the apes? I have read the Origin of Species (from which we got the Evolution theory). It was just a joke to me. Basically, Darwin basically considered everything looked similar as the same thing. Even if you assume that what the Origin of Species describes were true, you are still stuck with the question, how did all these animals get there at the first place? Second, Newton's thermal dynamics says that things are going from order to disorder. But what Darwin says is, things are going from disorder to order and that is contradictory to the proven Newton's laws of thermal dynamics.

Did you for a moment stop to think: Why I am I so unique that nobody should have asked that before? The world isn't that small, is it?

If your question has been asked before in this world, could it be asked before in another world? Could it be that you and the rest of us aren't that unique after all and the enourmous universe isn't just made for us?

Who is to say that God isn't doing what He has only seen done before Him. Wasn't most fathers once a son in one sense or another? Wouldn't you have to practice mortality for a while before graduating to immortallity?

You might quickly conclude that it still leaves a question to what happened before that, before that, and before that . . . etc.
Well, you could ask the same question about man, but that doesn't change the fact that we are here, or?

If you were to know everything before you got to it, where would the challenge and consequential growth come from? You must ask yourself a lot of little questions, before asking others the big ones. So, go ahead and ask yourself this: What am i going to with the answer to my big questions? Would I recognize the truth and do I have a criteria to measure one part of the truth against another part before i make a call? Am I prepared for the truth and can I act on it?

Before God was, HE IS. Our minds are unable to fully process any concept beyond time, we are all subject to this relative state in which we live. To have a basic understanding of the omnipotence of God is to realize that any random act of evolution would be impossible. For anything to have a beginning, something must have already existed. This is the greatest defeat of atheism. Even the big bang theory needed something to create the original blob and then get it started.

an alien in disguise as a human did.apparently,the ultimate creator is watching people living their lives on an oblong t.v. set with billions of picture & picture views,while sporadically laughing at us.god possibly created humans for his own amusement.the poser-human aka alien is wondering why some of us choose to live so complicated and stress themselves out by psycho-analyzing everything,in hopes of finding a reason for everything when there necessarily isn't.we just like think that we've figured out almost everything to show that our brains have evolved but some human's thinking process system is just a vicious cycle,which doesn't answer anything besides their demanding ego and/or rid of their fear of the unknown.it's okay for the unknown to lurk around.needn't fear nor panic!!

He wants us to be like him completely-we can become gods too. Then the people who populate our worlds will ask the same question. And, it was our God who created us! When did the whole thing start? Thats tougher to answer. But come on, did you really think that we were going to sing and worship God on our knees for eternity?
