If God created everything, then who created God?

Question

If we believe in the theory of creation, then this question has to have an answer.

Answer 1

That's a never ending question because if we answer that then the next thing would be who created the creator of God, right?
There's no answer, I think it's something beyond our grasp because to us things are made and created and not much comes out of nowhere so for a whole universe to exist out of nothingness is crazy but it does and if it doesn't then whatever it was borne out of did. No beginning and no end type of thing.

Answer 2

If you believe in creation, then you would probably believe that we were created. So, that would suggest you believe in "life after birth". Regardless the creature, but lets assume man (made in God's image) Then would you believe in "life after death"? Just as plausible. If not you can't accept infinity, yet it is so (divide a number in half, then that one in half, and so on and so on, see if you can come to a end) If you do believe in life after death you then accept infinity. Thus you answered your own question. There was no creation. No begining or end. That suggest's to me that we are all infinitely part of the same God conscience. We are all the same and always have been and always will be. But we can take different journeys for different reasons and still be infinite. We are conditioned to beginnings and ends on this earth plane, the three dimensional world. But that is because we are born and then die, to put it into mundane terms. But actually we are just stopping here to learn and experience, before we move on. But be sure to note that is only my opinion. Don't know about many facts out there.

Answer 3

Study the Bible. Don't believe anyone. Believe the Bible.

People lie to you. Example. Ever burning hell.

The English word hell is written 23 times in the New Testament King James version. It is translated 11 time from the Greek word hades {hah'-dace} which means grave.
It is translated 12 times from the greek word geenna {gheh'-en-nah} which should have been rendered "Gehenna" or "Gehenna of fire". ". This was originally the valley of Hinnom, south of Jerusalem, where the filth and dead animals of the city were cast out and burned; a fit symbol of the wicked and their future destruction.
It is the place of the future punishment of those that will not enter into the Kingdom of God. A one time punishment not an eternial punishing.

An Italian Florentine poet, Durante degli Alighieri, better known as Dante Alighieri or just Dante, June 1, 1265 – September 13/14, 132, created the idea of the hell that is taught to the world. Through his stage play la Divina Commedia (The Divine Comedy) the whole world has been and is being decived about a place that does not exist nor will it ever come into being.. The Divine Comedy describes Dante's journey through Hell (Inferno), Purgatory (Purgatorio), and Paradise (Paradiso). It was only a play, the works of the imagination of a man. However the Roman Catholic Church took the idea and ran with it and has long since convinced an unsuspecting world that
the writings of Dante are indeed an acurate rendition of a place of eternal punishing of all evil people. God is in total disagreement with the Catholic Church and all other that preach and teach that there is an ever burning hell, a place of eternal punishing, a place where the evil go after death.


Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day is coming, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yes, and all that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day thats coming shall burn them up, say's the LORD of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
Malachi 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and you shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.
Malachi 4:3 And you shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the day that I shall do this, say's the LORD of hosts.

Jesus was placed inside the tomb on Friday ( Good Friday ), Right? He rose early Sunday morning. Right? That is the story people tell. That is two nights and one day. Jesus said. Mat 12:40 For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth. Jesus was born the month of December. Right? That is the story people tell. Jesus was 33 1/2 years of age at his death. Count six months until his 34th birthday. The bible does not tell us that there were three magi ( wise men ). The list goes on. and on. Don't believe anyone, not me, not the people whom you receive the answer to this question. They don't know. Read the Bible.

Answer 4

First you dont have to belive in god to ask this question. If you belive science then what existed before the big bang or what caused the big bang. I would answer your question by saying that chaos or emptyness or the void existed before the universe was formed, so there was something but it was nothing.... if that makes sense. This is the way almost every major world religion and most of the minor and forgotten ones see it. Thought or the word was the catalyst for the creation of something. Don't think of "god" as a tangible or material creature, think of it as order breaking and manipulating chaos. Then through this initial creation "GOD" was able to eminate his spirt into something else like light or heat or matter or the first carnate deity who then went further and emanated into other things and all the way down to us and the plants and earth that all contains "GOD" spirit. Hope that helped.

Answer 5

What's the 'theory of creation'? Do you mean creation as outlined in the Bible? That's not a theory, it's a story, and stories (unlike theories) don't have to have explanations.

If you've suddenly realised that the Bible doesn't explain where God comes from, then congratulations. Maybe you should take up philosophy.

Answer 6

If we believe in the theory of creation, then nobody created God. He always existed and had no beginning.

Answer 7

ill use logic

God Created Everything
God is a Thing
Therefore God Created God

Answer 8

Immanuel Kant (a man so brilliant he summed up the whole of philosophy in his surname) tackled this one. He worked it both ways in his "Antimonies" ("paradoxes") where (amongst other things) he:

Proves there must be an "absolutely necessary being" (God)

and

Proves there is no absolutely necessary being

How can this be, how can sound reason lead us to contradictory conclusions? Because reason has its limits, neither your nor my tiny minds nor Kant's huge one can actually make sense of this "first beginnings" stuff. Intellectually we are up a certain creek without a certain piece of boating equipment.

This is not the religeous dictate that "there are some things you're not supposed to think about" but an arguement that "there are somethings that, think about it as much as you like, you aren't going to get an answer to.

(drglizard is right - the question still remains if you don't believe in God. Put "first bit of stuff" in for "absolutely necessary being" and it still works.)

Answer 9

People created God.
