I assume there is no god

Well I think there is a small flaw in your assumption. Logically, I would put it this way ---- Everything that is created has a creator and anything that is created has a beginning and an end. God is dimensionless--- He has no beginning no end. So the question of God being created does not arise. Somebody once rightly said that this question is as absurd as you asking me that your brother is about to give birth, What do you think ,will it be a boy or a girl? I know that a male cannot give birth, so the question of the child being a boy or a girl does not arise.

What makes you assume by default, that God was "created"? He wouldn't be "God" if at one point he didn't exist. God is self-existent without the need of an origin. Eternal life is a perpetually uninterrupted state. Can you count backwards to infinity and reach the "first" number? Neither can you count eternally backwards to reach God's "origin", because he doesn't have one. He is infinite in ALL directions, in eternal past, to eternal future. Have you ever stood between two large mirrors, like in a dressing room? Notice how your reflection stretches on to infinity in both mirrors? Think of this like the span of God's existence. There is no beginning or end.

My logic is that everything has a beginning: The natural numbers start with 1, theres nothing before it; the day starts at 12;
Similarly, everything started with God!

Everything in the material realm has a creator. Beings in the spritual realm do not. Man I'm smart!

God is not a created being, he always was and always will be.
Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty."

You forgot about the tactic believers employ of suspending rational and logical thinking when the questions get awkward.

God is the original cause, if you believe in the theory of cause and effect.
I don't believe it, but I know the argument.

God came into this dimension through a wormhole that formed spontaneously. Now don't ask what created the other dimension please.

I did not assume that much. Do you?
