Question

Answer 1

By the standard religious definition - nothing could have created God. But they also believe that "nothing can come from nothing" so they have a major paradox on their hands which has no answer.

Answer 2

People ask this question all of the time.

Since God is timeless, that is, he is literally outside of time, it makes no sence to talk about his beginning or ending because words like "creation" and "beginning" imply the passage of time.

---------------------------------------
...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 doesnt have a cause.

In contrast, there is good evidence that the universe had a beginning. This can be shown from the Laws of Thermodynamics, the most fundamental laws of the physical sciences.

1st Law: The total amount of mass-energy in the universe is constant.
2nd Law: The amount of energy available for work is running out, or entropy is increasing to a maximum.

If the total amount of mass-energy is limited, and the amount of usable energy is decreasing, then the universe cannot have existed forever, otherwise it would already have exhausted all usable energy the heat death of the universe. For example, all radioactive atoms would have decayed, every part of the universe would be the same temperature, and no further work would be possible.

So the obvious corollary is that the universe began a finite time ago with a lot of usable energy, and is now running down.

Now, what if the questioner accepts that the universe had a beginning, but not that it needs a cause? But it is self-evident that things that begin have a cause no-one really denies it in his heart. All science and history would collapse if this law of cause and effect were denied. So would all law enforcement, if the police didnt think they needed to find a cause for a stabbed body or a burgled house.

Also, the universe cannot be self-caused nothing can create itself, because that would mean that it existed before it came into existence, which is a logical absurdity....

...The Bible informs us that time is a dimension that God created, into which man was subjected. It even tells us that one day time will no longer exist. That will be called "eternity." God Himself dwells outside of the dimension He created (2 Timothy 1:9, Titus 1:2). He dwells in eternity and is not subject to time. God spoke history before it came into being. He can move through time as a man flips through a history book.

Because we live in the dimension of time, it is impossible for us to fully understand anything that does not have a beginning and an end. Simply accept that fact, and believe the concept of God's eternal nature the same way you believe the concept of space having no beginning and end -- by faith -- even though such thoughts put a strain on our distinctly insufficient cerebrum.

Answer 3

It seems unlikely that a God or Gods / Goddesses exist. Each culture has some how formulated their own ideas about spirituality, Ancient Egyptions for example has Gods of many things such as the light and the dark. Considering this, God is more of an idea that exists in people hearts and minds alone but not in reality. But if this makes the world a better place, then so be it.

Here's another thought for you, if God has existed for eternity then why did he take so long to create the universe?

Answer 4

God was not created.


Exodus 3:6 - Moreover he said, I am the God of thy father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob. And Moses hid his face; for he was afraid to look upon God.

Exodus 3:8 - And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.

Answer 5

In the book Conversations with God
the author asks God if he is the only God ...and the answer is no
there are others .. and there are Gods above God
this sounds like they are a race of Gods
where God came from or who created him though isnt answered
but its a good book to get you thinking a little outside the box

Answer 6

Have a look at the philosophy of Plantinga, especially a brief line in Plantingas free will defence about actualizing, you can find this on the web. The idea of God is that he is a contingent being, so has no beginning or end. He is not a created being per say, but actualised his own existence.
I hope this helps : )

Answer 7

There are two answers to that depending on your beliefs.

A, Nothing created God, he's been around forever.

B, Humans created the concept of god to satisfy the need for understanding of the universe and why it exists, as humans are naturally curious.

Answer 8

Nothing created God, that's why he's infinite. The law of causality states that everything that had a beginning had to have had a cause. Since God did not have a beginning he needs no cause or creator.

Answer 9

Before there was, there was nothing.

No time, No Space, nothing.

without the unverse of clocks and Mara, there is nothing.

So Rex Mundi created all that is, was, or is yet to be, and we are trapped like flies in amber in this trap.

Hail Eris! All Hail Discordia!

Before there was order, there was Chaos, after order is gone, there will be Chaos, and in this trap of Mara we are mired in, there is nothing but Chaos.

So Eris reigns supreme.

So There. Nyah! :-P

Answer 10

It is hard to comprehend but the bible teaches that God always existed, with no beginning and no end. It is mind blowing to try to understand it. I sometimes just think why? Why are things the way they are? But I am glad that a righteous hole, loving God is the ultimate ruler of all life. I am glad that he offered his hand out to me through Jesus and that I took it.

Answer 11

nothing created God..hes just always been...heavy huh??because God created time so there was no time before him,he was the first to create,so how could he have been created?he has always just existed un til he decided to create.just think about space for a second...there is no end to space,planets,stars,ect..go on forever,and he took time to create each one of them.so if he created something with no end how could he have had a beginning.nothing was before him,just deep,silent blackness.think about it.have a good one.
