He came from the desire of ancient man to outlive death.
We are doing fantastic. My little girl is just about to start walking, and I am looking forward to starting a new job in about 2 months. How about yourself? How is your son doing?

Man sees things as having a start and a finish. A year starts on Jan.1 and ends on Dec. 31. A sporting event has a starting point and an ending point. A day is 24 hours long. Work days are like that (usually 8 hours long.) Mans lifetime itself has a starting point (birth) and an ending point (death.) We see things as having a start and an end. But with God, mans finite mind can't comprehend it, man can't understand it, man can't perceive it, but God has no starting point and no ending point. If all things, as we know them, have a starting point, someone, something, had to put that start into motion. Someone, something, had to have put matter, substance, molecules, life itself into motion. That power, that knowledge, that ability, that something and someone is God. Maybe this is part of what faith means.

there two way to look at where we came from. A) we came from matter which went bang billions of years ago or B) we came from God who made the heavens and the earth. So what I'm tring to say that it's Matter that had no beginning or God have no bargaining because something had to be there that had no begining had to be there because nothing X nothing = nothing so it's A)Matter or B) God had no begining.

This is one of the hardest questions to answer. I don't think there is anyone on earth who completely understand. The explanation in the Bible is that God is the beginning and the end, the alpha and the Omega. We will all know when we are in His kingdom.

Actually, the whole idea of atheism and evolution is that everything DID come from something, just not a "god" or supernatural power. Atheists believe that everything happens for a reason, and events always have logical, scientific explanations.
Ask a Christian or a Muslim where "God" came from, and they'll probably call you a heretic...

He came out of a top hat like a magician's rabbit!
No seriously lots of strange things come from the imagination and God is one of those, he's been a collective work of many people's imaginations over many hundreds of years.

The Spirit of God has always been here. Then He started
the creations of heaven and earth, then land and water,
then animals and humans. His plan was (and is) perfect.
There was an order to everything He ever did.
Sure beats wrongly thinking that there was a big "bang"
and everything was in place and order just happened.

It is an unknown. People can speculate all they want but there is nothing that is a concrete, bona fide answer. It all comes down to their faith, not their facts. Fact is .. no one knows just as no one knows if deities even exist at all.
