Many years ago as a christian I came to the conclusion that if we ever found something to have never had a begining, it would have to be God.
GOD = WITHOUT BEGINING
as a christian I only thought about this inorder to answer other questions in relation to eternity and life and so on. I didnt actually think God to be some little piece of matter.
So I would say that anything that deserves to be called God would be whatever it is that has never had a begining. Wether we find out what that is or not. If energy itself has never had a begining, then it is truely God and deserves to be called so.
i hope you follow what i mean. i am atheist I just think that would be a good definition.

The question of defining the term god is extremely problematic - every sort of theism and every sort of theistic religion seems to have their own definitions. Indeed, there are so many definitions that when a person says they believe in a god, it isn't a very good idea to assume that you know what they are talking about. The wisest course of action is usually to ask them what they mean.
The root of the term (from Gothic root gheu; Sanskrit hub or emu, "to invoke or to sacrifice to") means either "the one invoked" or "the one sacrificed to." This indicates that whatever one calls "god," the relationship is not passive - instead, there is an active submission of the believer.
Some common characteristics of gods include: supernatural, powerful or all-powerful (omnipotent), loving or all-loving (omnibenevolent), wise or all-knowing (omniscient), creator of all existence, etc.

My definition of a god (as opposed to "the God") is: An autonomous entity with at least some area of major influence and/or knowledge, though not necessarily omniscient or omnipotent. A god would have the ability to "create" by the old alchemical law of solve et coagula, divide and combine (which also follows the law of conservation of energy).

I'm sorry to have to tell you this but we can't. It's God that defines us, our very existance is defined by Him and is held together by His word. There is not a single molecule that exists that does not have it's origin in God's spoken word.
We can know God only to the extent that He has revealed Himself to us through His Son, His Word and His Spirit. There is, (at least in this life) and always will be an unfathomable mystery concerning the ways of God.
It remains only for us to seek His face.
Isa 55:8-9
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. (KJV)

The concept of God cannot easily be grasped by the human mind. God is every single subatomic particle in this and every other universe that may exist. The awareness of God is not like the awareness of humankind, for He does not have our physical constraints and limitations. He is "aware," in His fashion (which is immeasurably greater than our own) of everything, everywhere, and at every time that exists, has ever existed or will ever exist (for to God there is no "now" as we perceive it, for He sees all time). God is both creator and creation. God is physics, and chemistry, and mathematics, and biology, and every other science; God is architect and artist. God is evolution. God is and is not human emotion--Does God love us? God understands love, for He designed it; but God has no need of emotion as we know it, and what God feels for us is incomprehensibly outside of our human realm of experience. God transcends the concepts of Good and Evil. God understands all.

This is a very difficult question, because He is not seen but His preaching is done through Jesus and his disciples. I personally believe that there is a God and that those that believe in him will go to a better place.
