Ah yes.... the uncaused causer...

By raising the question of the need for a designer for objects with irreducible complexity, intelligent design also raises the question, "what designed the designer?" Richard Dawkins has argued that "If complex organisms demand an explanation, so does a complex designer. And it's no solution to raise the theologian's plea that God (or the intelligent designer) is simply immune to the normal demands of scientific explanation," since such an answer would be unscientific. With religious creationism, the question "what created God?" can be answered with theological arguments, but in intelligent design, the chain of designers can be followed back indefinitely in an infinite regression, leaving the question of the creation of the first designer dangling. As a result, intelligent design does not explain how the complexity happened in the first place; it just moves it.

Elliott Sober says that by intelligent design's own arguments, a designer capable of creating irreducible complexity must also be irreducibly complex: "Any mind in nature that designs and builds an irreducibly complex system is itself irreducibly complex" Sober says that this an argument that intelligent design proponents still need to respond to.

If intelligent design proponents invoke an uncaused causer or deity to resolve this problem, they contradict a fundamental assumption of intelligent design that design requires a designer.

God is a spirit that has always existed. If something created this spirit than it wouldn't be god the thing that created would be. For it to be god it has to have no beginning or end because it has always existed, it doesn't follow a cycle.

Absolutely No one! He is GOD! The Supreme Being! He is above all time space and dominions, and He answers to NO ONE! He is GOD, and above Him there's no other! We are created by Him! GOD exist in eternity past, and He exist now, and exist in the eternal future forever!! GOD is the "Alpha & the Omega!" He is the Creator! the 'Beginning and the End' of all that is!

God always was, if you think about it thats the only logical explination, because the earth didnt come here out of nowhere it had to be created, if you take the big bang theory you could always say where did that piece of matter come from, something had to always exist, it is a law that you cannot make something from nothing.

The existence of your life is based on your good and bad deeds in your past life. According to Hindu sacred religion, our life cannot be ended and we take birth after birth till we merge with the source where we came from, called Supreme power. This state of complete oneness can be achieved by a simple and wonderful meditation.

Thanks

God was created by evolution that started 13.5 billion years ago on Planet H. That was 9 billion years before Earth was formed.

Well you did ask!

If God was created then he wouldn't be God, there would have been something above him that he depended on. God is almighty, eternal, and all-wise; nothing can be above him or beyond him.

I like to think of god as the first cause.
In other words if the big bang happened god started the process which caused the explosion.

There was no one before God. God is not a human or creature, therefore he doest have to be created. why you think they call him "the creator"?
