If God created humans, then who created God? If humans created God, then who created humans?

Question

When you will realize that human existance is a question that we cannot answer? Will you atheists and christians just shut up already?

For those using evolution as an answer... replace "human" with "universe" in my original question and try again.

Answer 1

Who says it's a question we cannot answer? I can answer it. Humans were created through abiogenesis and evolution.
In a technical sense I can't prove that some god didn't cause those things to happen, but there's no reason to believe one did.

If you want to use 'universe' instead of human then you make the question a little more complicated but no less answerable. The universe as we know it now was created by the Big Bang. Technically the universe already existed prior to this, in an infinitely dense 'singularity'. The nature of this singularity is such that nothing from before the Big Bang can impact anything now, so once again there is a technical possibility that a god caused the Big Bang, but there's no reason to assume it did. And even if a god did cause the Big Bang he would have no impact on the universe from that point on, so there's no point in worshipping it and no possibility of ever understanding it. The god in that situation could not be the god of any holy book I've ever heard of.
The universe has, of course, changed dramatically in the billions of years following the Big Bang. That's far too complicated to get into here, and I could only give you a horribly simplified explanation anyway. If you're interested then I suggest you look it up somewhere a little more academic than Yahoo! Answers.

Answer 2

In answer to your first question....

First, let's begin with the Biblical answer. Take a look at Rev 22:13; words spoken by God Himself: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." God didn't say I have a beginning, He said, I am the beginning. That means that there was nothing before God.

We can further prove that point by bringing out the flaws in the question. I love how GotQuestions.com puts it:

...The question does not even make sense. It is like asking, "What does blue smell like?" Blue is not in the category of things that have odor, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, God is not in the category of things that are created, or come into existence, or are caused. God is uncaused and uncreated - He simply exists.

Another problem with this question is that if you use it to go further backwards, you could go on forever. "If God created the world and some else created God, and someone else created the someone who created God, and someone else created the someone else who created...." This is actually a problem with many arguments that atheists give, including "the earth came from the Big Bang." Well then, where did the Big Bang come from? Obviously, there's something wrong with these statements because they cannot have definite answers.

As we have found out, the question, "who created God?" is weak. No-one did. Now, comes the matter of proving that, which is actually pretty easy. Let's walk through it step-by-step. For someone to create God, there would have to be someone before God. However, 'before' and 'after' are measures of time. It is necessary for time to exist to allow there to be a 'before.' The Bible says that God created all things, and therefore created time itself. Time came into existance only after God created it; God Himself lives outside of time. If God lives outside of time, He is not a product of time. 'Before' is impossible without time, therefore, there was nothing before God, and no one to create Him.

Answer 3

It is a mystery that can only be solved by faith, and even at that it's not a solution or answer to your question. The Bible says God is from forever to forever. Meaning God has always exsisted. It this is true then God must have created humans and not humans created God. I am an agnostic, which means I believe in a higher power,a supreme being. To me this belief seems the most logical. Scientists claim a therory of a Big Bang in space which formed the universe. But how could a big bang occured without a supreme being. They claim nothing exsisted and from nothing the big bang created something. How can something come from nothing? impossable. However, if a supreme being does exsist then it would have been him/her who brought something from nothing to create all that exsisted. Even though christians believe the Lord created all that is in exsistence in only 6 days, the bible also says that to the Lord a thousand years is like a day and a day is like a thousand years. Meaning God does not limit himself to time since he/she is from forever to forever. So, those 6 days could have been stretched out to billions of years. It is my belief that God does exsist, that he/she created the universe and all that is in the universe (including man) and that it is not man who created God but that man created the Bible to enslave mankind in a mystical belief system as a way of restoring order to a caotic world. The Bible has many good values which are simply common sense. "Do not kill" "Honor your father and mother" "Do not lie" "Do not covet any man's possessions". All these and many more are good common sense values. The debte goes on and I doubt there will be an end. So, it is up to each individual to decide what is true, which goes back to what I said in the beginning. It takes faith. It seems to me that scientists, athiests and christians could partly agree on one thing. The beginning of time. All three agree that 5 things must exsist in order for the universe to be in esistence. TIME, ENERGY, FORCE, SPACE, and MATTER. Take a close look at the first verse of the Bible. "In the beginning(time) God(energy) created(force) the heavens(space) and the earth(matter). Unity is most likely impossible. But an agreement in creation should and could be made by all three.

Answer 4

I will use logic to solve your problem. We exist in a universe governed by natural laws that appears to have had a beginning. We are a species that have existed for a definite amount of time on this planet who also must have had a beginning. Some external force appears to have put all this into motion, started things as it were. (big bang theory etc...) What is that external force? If it started the universe and all natural laws (quantum physics included) it must exist outside that realm of reality. If a being exists that can create space and time, then that being must be by definition "timeless", or must exist on a plane of reality that does not have time as we understand it. Even if this being or force is not sentient it is still without beginning or end by our definition of time. If you chose to call this being or force "God", then God had no creator because he exists in a dimension that is outside our plane of existence. I must disagree with you. Human existence can be explained in more than one way. It is up to us to take the time to search for the correct answer to that question.

Answer 5

There is proof to God's existence for all those who question it. It's quite simple.

A building had to have a builder.
A painting had to have a painter.
A car had to have a designer.

If so then, this being true to a reasonable person. One who has eyes to see and a brain to think. Then it would stand to reason that if all these things had a builder, painter and a designer.

Creation had to have a Creator.

No one created God. He stands outside of time. For everything to exist as it does there has to be a beginning. Something never comes from nothing? There had to be a causer to start the cause and someone who cannot be moved to be the mover. And this uncaused causer and umoved mover is God. He always existed, outside of time and space. He's just there.

Evolution is a hoax and a false religion.

Answer 6

God created people by using fact how replaced into existence created if we are no longer something yet a effect of an explosion? we aren't in basic terms "fortunate" by using fact our planet is so completely based so as that we will no longer burn or freeze to dying. there is definitely a supernatural spirit (aka God) that would have created us. And with reference to the reality approximately Egyptians and the Aztecs arising their very own gods is to describe specific issues that are created that are previous rationalization (mutually with clouds, animals, the solar, etc.). for each creation, there could be a writer, and Allocer, the assumption-approximately nothingness terrifying early guy its completely incorrect... If early guy replaced into like that, why are not we adore that??? in case you think of distinctive, answer this question, how replaced into existence created?

Answer 7

I am a Christian, but I understand why you are telling us to shut up. I have been reading the threads associated with this debate and the truth is that all the evidence can be looked at from both sides very convincingly. the Id /evolutionary debate can't really be disproven and since both atheists and Christians support both sides it seems rather pointless doesn't it? I am sorry I am a preacher and sometimes I have a hard time shutting up! I just love the sound of my own voice, I guess.

Jesus is Lord ans God bless!!!

Answer 8

Ok, Ms. Narrow-mindedness... lets use our petty brains to try to rationalize the other options. What about if we ARE God, or God IS us? What if this life is just a blip on the radar of existence? You will not know, yet you pose these impossible questions and get pissed off when people answer you... I can assure you this, you are not interested in the final answer, and even if it was waving in front of your face, you would be too blind to grasp it. Expand your mind, and perhaps one day we'll come to an answer.

Answer 9

As you use the word ,created, you are stuck in a time frame. God is time and space transcendent. The only way to approach such an imponderable is to accept a concept of a First Source and center.

Answer 10

Sounds like to me your mind is messed up, By trying to dis-prove God you only show your ignorance, You are wanting us Christians to shut up, friend, I don't think someone is sitting in your house with a gun point at you, forcing you to stay on this site, Satan has try many ways to close this site down, Not because of everyone's ideals, that don't bother him, It is that 1% that will tell the truth.
