If 'god' exists how and when was it created? And by whom?

Question

I know the religious people are just going to give the predictable 'he was always around' answer.
Please. Try putting some effort into it.
Please provide an answer with some thought behind it and avoid alpha and omegas.

Answer 1

I have an analogy, it's one I ALWAYS use in cases like this...but last time I used it I got reported for chatting. Sigh. Anyway, the analogy I use is time. Time has ALWAYS been. It didn't need mankind to come along and classify it to exist.
Same with God. If time, which is an abstract concept but which still dictates our lives to an extent, can exist forever, then can't there be a God that is infinite?
Try wrapping your mind around time. Can you do it?
God is like time. He didn't need anyone to call Him anything. He is God. He has always existed, and will always exist.

Answer 2

According to His own statement concerning Himself, He always "was, is and will be." That answer is because he does not exist within Time, but outside of Time, in the realm of Eternity. Eternity is a spiritual realm outside of and beyond Time, which itself is a created thing (scientists and physicists now acknowledge this, that time is a tangible thing with properties that we can affect). God's very name, YaHWeH, means "Self-existing One," or the "I Am," meaning that He has no beginning or ending, neither is He sustained by anyone or anything.

As creatures of time, that blows our minds, because everything we can relate to has an origin, a start and a beginning, an end and a finish. That is because we experience reality and time in a linear fashion: we cannot visit yesterday; we can only record yesterday, experience today and prepare for tomorrow. We are always moving forward in time. But God, who is an Eternal Spirit, is never diminished or increased, and He sees all three aspects of time at once, like a man looking at a strip of unrolled movie film: he sees our yesterday, today and tomorrow all at once. And every once in a while, if we are spiritually developed enough, He will interact with our eternal spirits and give us a glimpse of tomorrow or yesterday from the perspective of eternity. We call this event Prophecy.

When time comes to an end, the Lord will bring all that are prepared into eternity, where He dwells, and then, as Revelation says, "Time will be no more."

Now the evidence that this is so is in the Biblical evidence of prophecy -- God has provided a book that continually demonstrates knowledge outside of time. For example, Israel: The writings of the Bible, dating back thousands of years, predicted the destruction of the nation of Israel, the duration of its disappearance, and the EXACT year of its return to the EXACT land that it was removed from, the enemies who would be surrounding it, and how it would be treated by the world. What are the odds of any one book written by over 40 different authors over a period of 1600 years predicting the exact circumstances of a particular nation, and getting it all correct? How is that possible?

The answer: it was knowledge given to them by an Eternal God who was sharing information obtained from an eternal perspective!

Answer 3

Your confusion is common. People have difficulty envisioning the infinite. However, even the basic laws of physics recognize this as a possibility. Allow me to explain. According to the laws of physics we know that matter/energy can NEVER be completely destroyed. It can only be broken down into simpler forms of matter & energy. This would imply that the amount of matter/energy in the universe that exists NOW will ALWAYS exist in some form or another. We also know from the laws of physics that matter/energy cannot be spontaneously generated from nothingness. Since matter/energy currently exists then it would imply that it has always existed in some form or another. This means that matter/energy has always and will always exist infinitely forward & backward in time...no beginning no end. If it can be true in the physical universe that we occupy then cannot it also be possible for God to be equally infinite both forward & reverse of time?

Answer 4

So you are looking for speculation based on the mundane limited sense perception or do you want the truth. The truth according to the Vedic understanding which are the text given at the time of creation. Creation Maintains and annihilation have been going on since time immemorial. But a tiny brain can not understand immemorial or unlimited or eternally. So Lord Krishna expands Himself into a gigantic form of Lord Vishnu who then creates the first living being (lord Brahma) who comes up from Lord Vishnu's navel. Then Krishna plays His Flute which gives the eternal Aum sound vibration which gives lord Brahma (co-creator) the knowledge how to create all living entities. Millions of universes emanate from Lord Vishnu's pores and that is creation. Annihilation of the universes in this set of Yugas is in 427,000 more years. At that time everything goes back into Lord Vishnu's' pores. GO to http://www.stephen-knapp.com get the book How the universe was created and our purpose in it. Its extremely detailed and comes from the Srimadbhagavatam which has been confirmed by great scholars and saints.

Answer 5

This is an unanswerable question. The problem is that a God would have to be at least as complex as the universe it created. As a theory, all it does is avoid the question of existence by inventing a harder one. This is why I'm an atheist.

Answer 6

by definition a "God" is beyond cause, doen't need to be created by anybody, transcends time and existence and can do pretty much whatever he/she wants.

The big thing about our God and Christianity is, that you can only experience it on a spiritual level, you either belive or not, have faith or not, its not a "logical" thing,

so no purely scientific approach will help

I belive in him and sometimes I try to figure out where and "how" God is, and its even worde than figuring out the Big Bang if you belive in science alone...

what was before and physically around the Big Bang ?

see ??

God bless you

Answer 7

Maybe they are just higer evolved lifeforms from another dimention that created this one. Thats the best I got. Sorry.

Answer 8

God always existed. When did the sun and stars begin? You can't really answer that one either. (Evolution and a big bang are just theories.) You weren't here when they started.

Answer 9

God always existed. it's hard for us humans to understand that because we are limited in everything, but it's true

Answer 10

We made God. Several thousand years ago.
