I don't really understand how people ask this question, just as I don't understand how people say "In the beginning there was this big bang - well, what happened before that?" How does any reasonable, honest human claim to know what happened before their creator was created? There is no way to know or understand the Unknowable. We just don't know - none of us does. Well, maybe the Doctor.

Peace!

Since matter cannot be created or destroyed, there is no need to seek a beginning of anything. Existence exists. If you start with a super intelligent entity, such as the Creator of a universe, you are placing such entity outside of the universe, outside of existence. Where? It used to be in the sky, above the clouds, then the airplanes started flying and the Creator of the universe had to be moved out to space. Then , satelites were launched, and the Creator had to be moved beyond our galaxy. Such reasoning is faulty. Even if such super intelligent being existed, HE or SHE would have to exist some place before creating anything. That will bring us to an infinite regression of asking where and when such a being existed. It is more logical to observe the natural world, with its energy, matter and behavior (laws) and see that it is constantly changing but remains indestructable, therefore it has always existed, without the need of a "Creator" or of being created. Nobody is saying that the universe was created from nothing. The universe, in changing forms, has always existed, it was not created. Why invent an intelligent being who truly came from nowhere and who has no need to be created, but cares about us? whether John Doe believes or doesn't? Isn't that an infantile and primitive way of reasoning?

The truth is that he doesn't know, yet never stops searching. In those terms God is an orphan. Why do you think 'helping the orphans' is so important, biblically speaking? Our own lives mirror the same sentiments. Where did I come from? Who am I?What was it like before I was born? These are among the ways that we are made in the image of God.

God is the Creator, not the created. He is from everlasting to everlasting. We are finite and limited to time and space. God is infinite and not so limited. It is impossible for our finite minds with their limited knowledge to completely understand the Omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent God. What we can know about God is found in the Bible
To ask humans to totally comprehend God is like asking the ant to totally comprehend humans

The main attributes or characterisic of God is that He is the Creator of all things, He is Everlasting, has no begining.

So, any entity that is created by another entity is not God.

If the entity is God, He has not been created.

God is the First and the Last. We have to take His word for it. Our knowledge is nothing compared to God's.

We don't even know everything about our own planet, so do you expect to know everything about the universe and God?

God is the Creator of everything...even time. Our minds can't comprehend or imagine how it's like to be outside of time.

Who knows? I think Moses asked him that, and all got out of God was, "I am, that I am," then he said, "I was before all".

So ask him, maybe you would get a better answer then Moses.

I just have faith that he is. Was and is to come.

You'd have to define "god" as it relates to your questions; different people have different definitions; when did the idea of god become gender related?
