I'm not sure exactly where in the Bible it says this, but there tends to be general agreement among Christians that God was never created, he was just always there.
That seems difficult to believe, but think about it. No matter how far back in time you go, there had to have been something there. Even if God was created, something had to have created the something that created God. And if that something was created, something had to have created that something, also. What it all boils down to is that there must have always been something there.
That really can't be used to argue that God exists, but it does help me understand the possibility that God is a being that has always been in existence.

This is the "Gnostic" understanding of God, also prevalent in the Roman, Greek, Egyptian, and other ancient religions. That whoever is worshipped as "god", or the "main god" among other gods and goddesses, was actually the progeny of an earlier "god" type figure.
For example, "Chronos" (Father Time) was the 'father' of Zeus, Hera, and company. The 'kids' waged war against their parents (the Titans) and took over the universe as gods and goddesses. Zeus was even warned that if he had a son with Metis, that THAT boy would supplant Zeus as "king of heaven". (So he ate her.)
The Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity, Islam, do not believe that any being pre-dates God.

Since we live in the physical domian of time/space, it is hard for us to imagine timelessness. Yet that is where God dwells. God is not physical, He is spiritual. Once we die, we enter into the realm of timelessness--then you will understand. Before the earth was created, there was no such thing as time, days or years. So a billion years would mean about as little as a google.

I don't know what god you are thinking about but one of the characteristics of God is His omnipresence, both in time and place. Consequently, your question is difficult to understand, to put it mildly. If, therefore, God has no beginning and no end, how can you ask for the origin of God? Please don't try to fit God in a test tube and try to analyze Him : it just cannot be done. Our minds are limited and we ourselves are limited in both space and time. We cannot understand God in His entirety.
Of course, since "nothing comes from nothing", that rules out evolution,since it is also true that living things come from ONLY other living things. Where did the FIRST living thing come from???
UPDATE TO YOUR RESPONSE:
What answer are you looking for? How can you say that you didn't get the answer?

People don't exactly understand what God Is. (I don't either!) But, I'm thinking, He made Himself. Example: He made Himself into a human when Jesus came to earth. Another example: Think of all the things you've wanted to be. Now, what if you actually could create yourself, wouldn't that be neat? And if nobody was interfering?

If God needed to be created, then how could he be God? God is, always has existed. God is not bound by human time.

God is eternal, without beginning or ending. He created time for our benefit. You cannot follow man's logic to understand God.

ooh dude that's actually a pretty deep question, but God was always there for eternity. Humans can't possibly comprhend eternity, or "foreverness" b/c no human has ever experienced it.
