if god must have created the universe b/c it is so amazing, then who created this amazing God?

Question

the obvious answer is another god type being but this is directly contradictary to every monotheistic religion in existance.

this question is intended to get christians to ponder their lines of thinking a little bit longer

Answer 1

You are right --- the "first cause" argument is useless, because it answers a puzzle with a puzzle yet more obscure.

The gods and goddesses of the ancient world were not really viewed as creators of everything but as generations themselves. We humans were thought to be related to the gods by kinship and contain something of divininty in our own selves, called the "genius" or "juno". Science has reaveled a great deal about the original of the Universe, 13.7 billion years ago. It seems that everything is a process of evolving and changing and that same process is happening now; we ourselves are still evolving and will doubtless become much different in myriads of years to come.

Answer 2

Yes, this could be a valid possibility, but it has some sever impacts on theology and the claims made about God. The most obvious of these is why would a god that created humans through physics and evolution lie about it in its inspired, inerrant "word" (the Bible)? Certainly a god that was intelligent enough to create the laws of physics and to direct evolution would have been able to explain what it had done in a way that was vastly closer to the truth than what we see in Genesis. At a very minimum, it could have gotten the sequence of events closer to what happened, i.e. stars, then our sun, then the earth, water, sea life (both plant and animal) then land life. On the other hand, if a god was powerful enough (as in all powerful) it would not have needed six days, much less than 13.72 billion years. Then we have to start to deal with the question of "original sin" or why did God create or allow evil. However, there simply are no good answers to this that are consistent with the rest of the Bible's claims. Even further, it is not just creation and Edan that is soundly contradicted by the evidence, it is nearly everything from creation until well after the Kingdom of David (which is rather shaky) and from then on, the events may have happened but there is nothing to suggest that a god had anything to do with it.

Answer 3

Okay I just answered this a minute ago. And I've answered this at least 5 times since getting on answers . Your line of thinking is based on your limitations of time. To you and I before day 7 was day 6. And before that was day 5 and 4 and 3 and so on. So before day one what was there? There was God. What was not there was time. God created time. As such he can live in the past present and future. He is not limited by it. Rather he is master over it. Therefore the need for God to have had
a beginning is an illusion.

How's that for pondering. you can call this place the ponder osa
pilgrim lol

Answer 4

Or maybe you are just thinking inside the box.

You assume that human understanding of physics and our perception of reality is complete and accurate. When you ask "who created God" you assume that God would have had to have been created. Your mind can only accept that reality. What if the realm of the spiritual, the holy, the supernatural, has a completely different structure than ours? What if God has been and always will be? What if our reality is just a dream, a fleeting and trivial pathway to a life eternal?

What if we are God's dream?

The atheist is far more closed-minded than the agnostic or the true believer, for where the true believer sees tremendous possibility, and the agnostic sees far too many possibilities, the atheist sees no possibility at all.

Answer 5

God always existed he was not created, he had no beginning like we humans have a beginning, that is why humans cannot grasp God always existing,Gods creating of the universe also shows his power.How many humans can understand the endless universe where it beginns , where it ends what it is in, there are so many questions that one might ponder over about our universe so how would it be possible for them to figure out the complexity of God? or even dispute that complexity on the basis of not understanding it?

Answer 6

A man was walking along the oceanshore when he stooped down to look at a tiny crab in a leftover tidepool.

As he looked on he was overcome by the awesome mysteries of God. Trying to contemplate God, he finally cried out, "Lord, why can't I figuire you out?"

At that moment an angel appeared and said, "Take heart my child, see that tiny tidepool? That is man, now turn toward the ocean. . that is God . . a tidepool cannot take in . .THE OCEAN."

Answer 7

my answer is based on following logic

"God has created everything but himself is not created by anyone.God is self created"

Then there is a possibility of creating another god.
also meny no of gods.

so dont believe about the god.

Answer 8

"christians to ponder their lines of thinking a little bit longer"

Answer 9

I always wondered that question its IMPOSSIBLE!!! he was never here, they say a spirit, but i mean what the he*l??? how did the spirit get there, THIS QUESTION IS WHAT MADE ME ATHIEST, and then astrology and evolution made more since, you should check out the big bang theory...

Answer 10

Hes the beginning and the end.
