Since God is the Almighty Father and no other man comes before him, then who created God? This is a serious question as a friend and I were just sitting here wondering about it ourselves. Because if God created the Heavens and the Earth then he had to be somewhere else before he created them. Only serious answers please.

Who created God, assumes that God exists in the first place, and that God was created. Pretty big assumptions without any evidence. Try the following scenario.

Human beings could be the next God, Adam and Eve.

Imagine the future, technology and space travel have advanced beyond all of today’s comprehension. In order to spread the human race around the universe, a couple (male and female) are transported to another planet in another solar system many millions of light years away from Earth. The planet has the necessary environment to sustain human life.

The couple are given an instruction booklet of do’s and don’ts in order to happily survive and flourish, and then the space traveller leaves for good and returns to Earth. The couple get down to business and breed.

In thousands of years to come, that new planet of humans will believe that the space traveller was God, the original couple was Adam & Eve, and that the instruction booklet was the Bible. Straight forward. Imagine where the current Bible’s God, Adam and Eve came from.

First off, you are presupposing that there is a god. Since evolution is backed by fossilized remains of both human ancestors, and even farther back, Dinosaurs, and just in general, science! So, if we evolved, and did not "appear" by the forming of a human body by a "god" , your question is moot. I will admit that the scientific line of evidence and reasoning is not complete and total proof, it does offer more than a "It says so in the bible, so it must be true" approach. Because if you follow the line of thought by some of these people who say the bible says it, you must believe, like they do, that the earth is only about 9 thousand years old, not millions upon millions of years old, that has been proved by scientific methods. Also, don`t forget, that most all of the people who have these asinine ideas, can find some way to verify their ideas through the text of the bible, and since pretty much every one will end up with their own interpretation of the meaning of what is said in the bible, so in the end, it all comes down to what YOU choose to believe in.

God is way beyond our minds to wrap around. He is unknowable. No one and nothing created God. Before there was anything, there was God. When He wanted the universe to exist, He said "Be" and it was.

I do believe in the Big Bang theory and in evolution, but these things were designed by God. Billions of years to develop? Not even a bat of an eye to God. God created time. Before there was even time, there was God.

The Qur'an has a story that's interesting. Moses asked if God would reveal Himself, and God said no, but look at that mountain there yonder. (Okay, these aren't the words verbatim, but it's the story nevertheless.) So Moses looked at the mountain. God showed Himself to the mountain, and the mountain turned to dust.

Whether or not that actually happened isn't the point. The story illustrates the magnitude of God, it illustrates how God is UNIMAGINABLY HUGE, and we can never ever grasp all of God, we can never handle being in God's unbuffered presence.

Most people will answer you that God is eternal - there was never a time when God did not exist. He was, and is, and always will be in existence.

This, of course, is unprovable. It is not implausible - not to me, at least. I agree with those who posit that God is the "unmovable mover" who set the universe into motion - whether that by via the Big Bang or the seven-day Creation or by whatever other means.

The idea of a God who transcends all nature of physical properties, and in a Triune relationship with himself in different forms is beyond the ability of the human mind to create. God is spirit, and is therefore able to exist in eternity. The grand creator and sustainer of creation is beyond mere human bounds, and cannot be put in a box. If anything created God, they would be so beyond our feeble minds, its not worth thinking about. Even trying to comprehend God's creation is beyond our minds, let alone His being, let alone anything that may have come before.

Also out of interest Brenda's world's reply has several fundamental errors in that matter is finite, the gene pool has an expiry date and it had to end somewhere, so it isnt really a viable option (merely delaying the process, like alien creation of humans).

No one created Him. As His Word says in the book of Isaiah, "Who is there like the Lord?"

There is no one equal to God, let alone greater than He. I'm glad that you're thinking about such things, because you will eventually find the only way to be reconciled with God, and believe in it. That way is Jesus Christ.

Since God, by definition, is the creator of the whole universe, he is the creator of time. Therefore He is not limited by the time dimension He created, so has no beginning in time — God is ‘the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity’ (Isaiah 57:15). Therefore He doesn’t have a cause.

If god does indeed exist
its intirely possible that it is a non linear being with out a begining or end

or that long ago people existed but had vastly superior technology and for some reason were dieing off so the last of them seeded our life here

God doesn't bind by the laws we bind by. Actually your logic had to stop somewhere (who created who create the one that created ....us) the answer is simple though, if it has to stop some where it stops at the first creator.
( we can get to the relativity of time but I understand your question is about causality)

Steve Irwin, the Crocodile Hunter, created God.
Seriously, man made all of the gods and goddesses, or our recognition of them gave them focus enough to better affect physical reality.
