If God (or a god) created the world, who or what created God?

Question

Vicious circle that can never be resolved using reasoning processes that are based on cause and effect. It requries a higher level of "reasoning" that isn't based on cause and effect -- but then we are faced with the same question: Who or what "created" that higher level of reasoning?

Answer 1

No one, for he has always existed, which is difficult for us to comprehend.
Psalms 90:2--"Before the mountains themselves were born,
Or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, Even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God."
Many people believe that all creation happened due to chance or evolution. Let them consider these facts about our marvelous earthly home and then see if they still have doubts about a Creator:
The earth is placed at just the right distance from the sun, its source of energy in the form of light and heat.
It moves around the sun at just the right speed, and rotates on its axis every 24 hours, and has just the correct angle of tilt.
It has a protective, life-sustaining atmosphere with just the right mixture of gases.
It provides the water and soil needed to grow food.
It provides a variety of delicious and colorful fruits, vegetables and other foods.
We also are able to enjoy the beauty that exists in the sky such as rainbows, the stars and a moonlit night.
We enjoy the mountains, the streams and lakes, the varieties of beautiful fragrant flowers, plants and trees and so many other delightful living things.
When I consider all these things and how I am able to see in living color and can taste all the foods the earth provides, then yes---God is real and all things were created by intelligent design.

Answer 2

Yes, something had to just be there. It was God. The earth was obviously created. The universe was obviously created. You seem to realize, from your question, that questions about beginnings or first causes can go on forever. So, you have to pick a certain acceptable limit to deal with. There is no point asking what created the big bang, and what was before that, and what was before that, and ect for 100 years worth of asking. We can barely understand this universe so it would be pointless to ask a million starting points back from that. Maybe one, like where did the universe come from? The big bang. Well where did the big bang come from? That would be enough for now. The same is true with God. You could ask, where did the universe come from? God created it. There is no use or reason to go further than this. It God truly created the universe, (and I believe He absolutely did), we are so lost that there is no reason to sit an ask questions about where He came from. We need to deal with this life and be assured that these "unanswerable" questions will be answered when we come face to face with God. I believe God is an eternal necessary being. Being the fact that He is eternal, He just always was, always is, and always will be. There is no creator to God - At least nothing we could fathom. But as far as skipping God and going straight to the earth, that would be rather silly. The earth abviously is not eternal. It would have worn out or been destroyed by now. (the laws of thermodynamics) so it is easy to want to go a step beyond this. Unless you are under Al Gores congregational teachings and you worship the earth or something. If that is the case, you need serious help. Try Jesus, He is the creator and provides forgiveness and remission of sins.

Answer 3

This question is older than the statement that God created Adam and Eve, not Adam and Steve. No one created God. God alone is from everlasting to everlasting. God alone is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. The Bible begins with the words, " In the beginning God created the heavens and the Earth"-Gen.1:1
There is no attempt to prove God's existence, for one thing, and for another, God was already there in the beginning. God is infinite, mankind is finite and extremely limited in knowledge and abilities by comparison. How can we, who are limited to time and space and who aren't omniscient, understand the Almighty who isn't likewise limited? It is impossible for us to understand. What we can know about God is found in His Word, The Holy Bible.
Consider the ant. It has even more limitations than we do. If you could become an ant and tell it about the marvels of modern technology and about the inventions of mankind, do you think it would believe you, or even be able to fathom what you are telling it? Have you ever noticed that ants don't even acknowledge your presence unless you step on one or impede one in some way? Such are we in comparison to God

Answer 4

Which came first: The chicken or the Egg ??

anyway. this question will be asked for many years to come. HOwever, I have
the answer.
God was created by the physical processes of the universe. First the big bang happened. then some of the solar systems and planets cooled. and LIfe began as a simple chemical process.
THen, when Man evolved. His brain, at first, had simple superstitions. As he evolved, so did the complexity of the superstitions.

It's quite simple eh? and nothing more than an elaborate conceptualization of superstitions like "walking under a ladder is bad luck".

Answer 5

the higher level. God is God. Our mere mortal minds would never be able to phantom the many ways of IS. The leveling of the ocean, the sun in the sky, the trees in the field, the ants on top a hill. The many faces and places and things of GOD. Be in awe and sin no more!

Answer 6

God was always there and will always be. It's hard to understand, cuz we think everything has to have a begining. But God IS God. He didn't have a begining and wont have an end. Just a middle. Its weird but it's something you have to accept.

Though, it's not something you have to accept. The only thing you have to accept IS God.


Well, hope that helped. And good luck!

Answer 7

Nobody, because it doesn´t exist. By the way, if there had been such a God that had living for ever before the beginning, always at the infinitum, it could not be here now, because that should implies that infinit doesn´t exist or God doesn´t exist either both.

Answer 8

A person asked similar question to my Guru Nanak Dev Ji that is WHAT was before god and my guru asked him to first bring some coins then only i would answer it.
He brought a box of coins in front of my guru and Guruji said count it. That person started counting it and started one two three & reached till 5 -6 when guruji interrupted by saying you counted wrongly and he started it again. This happened for many times and frustrated that person asked Guruji now don't stop me after i go wrong stop me as soon as i am wrong. So the person started counting coins again was counting the first coin only and guruji said stop. Now person said where could I be wrong here?? It is just the first coin now. On which guru ji said " You started counting wrong start it from before one" at this the person said "why are you confusing me?? The counting starts itself from one there is nothing before one" on which Guruji replied "And Why are You confusing me ?? Everything starts from God there is nothing before God".


Hope this Helps

Answer 10

You will drive yourself mad trying to find the answer to this question, Just know that God is timeless and go on. You will never find the answer until you have the chance to ask someone on a "higher plain".
