if we knew that question then we would be God.

God was probably created around the time of the cro-magnons. They're different from Neanderthals 'cause they would bury their dead. Burial assumes a lot. It assumes a soul and an afterlife. If people can have souls, then it's not too far a jump to start imagining anthropomorphic dieties, little spirits that live in rivers, mountains, etc. I think that's how god was created.

The most basic answer to this question that solves it pretty well is called the Theory of the Immutability of God(dunno if thats it word for word)

Basically God is an infinite being, not a finite being(as we are), so he exists outside of time and space, therefore -> you can't ask the question without first assuming(begging the question fallacy actually) that god exists in time and was created at some point *in time*

He was created by us in our image. And he continues to be re-created in this way to this day. The God people believe in tends to be a very good reflection of the people who believe in said God.

When I was a kid and my parents were dragging me to church and Sunday school every Sunday, I asked basically the same thing of the Sunday school teacher. The reply was "God is, and God always has been, and always will be." Talk about a non-answer, answer!!! In short, they have no idea. If there is such a being as God, he/she had to come from somewhere, but no one can give an intelligent answer other than the Uh, yeah, right.

The Bible says He always existed. It sounds hard to believe and like a "non answer" but where did atoms come from? No matter what you believe was the beginning of existance we all end up at the same dead end . We all got here somehow and none of us have the "proven" answer to that. So I think it makes the God always existed theory just as believable as any. And for many other reasons... I'm going with God!

I do not presume to know how God was created, but I do presume to know the basic condition of his creation: that is, language - a system of symbols that can with utmost semantic coherence -by no means does semantic coherence reflect the nature of things, let's not forget that language is in reality just a sordid abbreviation- give way to several forms of classifying phenomena in general.

Given that this would necessarily imply a gradient of some sort, there must thus exist the possibility of conceiving -again, within a given semantic structure and its norms- innumerable concepts to reflect both quantity and quality, in accord with, among other things, our use of and discovery of Nature in a very broad sense of the word.

That being said, what we call God is simply the furthermost imaginable representation which in itself lies at the very intersection of the most blatant displays of grandeur of both quantity and quality; in plain English, what we refer to as God is the pinnacle and almost climactic point of language. Given that language is, in more than one way, our World, (in the German Weltanschauung sense of the word) how could we possibly avoid giving that pinnacle human-like qualities which would otherwise necessarily resonate with the cultural standards that be....? (Cultural standards which in themselves are substantiated through language, mind you.)

Thus, God.

Read the Summa Theologica- St. Thomas Aquinas will explain all.

He is the Uncreatead Creator! That's what makes him God. He never was created. We can never understand it fully.

God being Immortal, he simply "Created Himself"!
