God created God out of the nothingness that was God.

Eventually the "why" question has an end, otherwise there would be an infinite regress and no answer. God is the ultimate explation, and therefore the ultimate explanation needs no explanation. God is, always was, and always will be. Our minds cannot conceive this b/c we exist in time (for we cannot even conceive of eternity save a sequence of nows ad infinitum). God is the first uncaused cause. For it is certain and evident in this world that some things change, there must be a cause for these changes, there cannot be an infinite regress of changes, therefore there must be a first unchanged changed (cause). This is what we mean by God.

This is the largest of the problems with believing in an infallible and all powerful God. If you follow the logic that life is too complex to have come into being through evolution and some intelligence must have been at work in its creation you obviously have to follow that that intelligence is definately too complex to have been created through evolution and some even more complex being must have created that infallible and all knowing being, and an even more complex being must have created that being, etc. etc. However, God is supposed to be the ultimate being in the universe who came into being of his own accord, fully formed as a god and all knowing.
It is much easier to believe that there is no ultimate being in the universe who did not have to learn and grow as everything in the world has to do than to believe that there was an ultimate all knowing, all seeing, all powerful being controlling everything.

If God had to be created, then you couldn't call it "God." The being who created God would be God. Does that make sense?

God is not creation, therefore not created. He is a word that can creats from nothing. He created the world from His words... including you. Be thankful to Him that He gives you the wisdom to ask His existence. God will answers you every questions you have.

God is the only uncreated being in the universe. God is without begining and without end. God is. God said that "I am that I am".
Now you could argue that people created the idea of God and some people have done exactly that.

If God created time then God exists independent of time and space. Ergo, God does not need a beginning and does not need to be created.

you can have two arguments about that. one of them is that God was created, or created himself, in a way beyond human comprehension.. that's what most religious folk beleive.. Others beleive that Human created the idea of God to gain power over others and decrease their free will. Personally I beleive that there is a God that was created in a way that the human mind cannot understand.. i might be wrong though.. that's what pisses me off, u can never know!

What a wonderful question. This is the type of question one must go directly to God for the answer. He knows all and I believe with all my heart He will answer you, with His still small voice. Now if you are asking about god with a small "g", anyone can make anything become that to them.
