Can you defend your conclusion to the question: Who made God?

Question

Please provide some of the rationale you apply in order to arrive at your conclusion to the question: "Who made God?"

(i.e., What process of thinking prompts you to conclude this question the way you do?)

Answer 1

No one....whether he exists or not.

If he does not exist, then no one made him because he doesn't exist.

If he does exist, then no one made him because he is God.

If he is the Creator of the universe then God existed before the universe was here. He always existed.

Answer 2

In our everyday experience, just about everything seems to have a beginning. In fact, the laws of science show that even things which look the same through our lifetime, like the sun and other stars, are running down. The sun is using up its fuel at millions of tons each second. Since, therefore, it cannot last forever, it had to have a beginning. The same can be shown to be true for the entire universe.

So when Christians claim that the God of the Bible created the entire universe, some will ask what seems a logical question, namely 'Where did God come from?'

The Bible makes it clear in many places that God is outside of time. He is eternal, with no beginning or end — \ He is infinite! He also knows all things, being infinitely intelligent

God Bless You

Answer 3

Well I have never gotten to this conclusion yet thats why I am still looking for my answers. I like you question the very nature of this question; if God made us, who made god and so on and so on. To accept this assumption that no one made God and he just is; then you must accept that not everything has a beginning a middle and an end but everything we see and do works this way, so all we have to go on is faith in the end, its not easy for everyone to just accept this answer.

Answer 4

man made god, not the other way around.

Ancient man looked at things they couldn't comprehend and decided that rather than admitting they didn't know, they'd make up an explaination for it, so, these ficticious explainations became established 'facts' (due to a lack of scientific understanding) and from these 'facts' grew gods who could be used as scapegoats and tools to make the populous follow a set of rules (i.e. if you dont do this [insert god here] will strike you down)

by the time Science (real science) managed to gain any power, religions had become too ingrained in society for people to realise the flaws in these ancient stories as they had become too literal.

The basic moral of this story is that in time fiction evolves into fact when people forget that it is fiction.

Answer 5

Man made God not the other way around!

I have been studing fossils for about thirty years. Once you see the progression you can rule out the whole God thing.

Another convincing thing is that many different civilizations have used gods to explain natural phenomenons. The Egyptians, Romans, Greeks, American Indians etc. All had their gods to explain things that they didn't understand.

Answer 6

Hmmmm. God has no beginning, and no end. He is the alpha and the Omega.

That bit aside, think of it more this way. God created the Time/Space Matrix. We are inside that Time/Space Matrix. For us, mired here, Time is a major part of us, our existance, and more importantly, our way of thinking and interpreting the universe. We are born, and then die. This is our cycle of things, it's also the cycle of everything inside this universe. We can't conceive of something that has no begininng or an end, from our view, it's insane.

But, try and conceive of the Creator. This one is the maker of the Time/Space Matrix. Much like a writer is a creator of a book but is not part of that book,the Creator is NOT part of the creation. The Creator is outside of the Time/Space Matrix. We are like a Two Dimensional drawing, trying to conceive and understand what a 3d cube is...

So, you are asking a linear question about an entity that isn't part of the Time/Space Matrix.

Answer 7

God was created in the human mind. Nobody has actually confronted god and nobody cares to question his families background. Nobody has ever lived to talk about it. So your question goes back to the imagination for the need to belong. A higher force, an almighty god, somebody to look up to and somebody to set your sorry soul straight. The reason god has such an iron fist is because he controls and he designed your thought process. He knows that he can throw a loop into you just like that. The god I know has a sense of humor and it takes quite a bit to get him mad.

Answer 8

Here's one for you, it's a little deep, but many people believe it, although believing it does not mean you get closer to God.

Generally speaking, man’s purpose on earth is to return to God someday. To do that God and Jesus left us help to do this. And although there are many areas that need to be addressed, the whole point is to be without sin like God. Be perfect like God; or, in other words, to be worthy to be a God. Just being “good” isn’t enough. So if we need to essentially become a God to be with God, then God most likely had to do the same thing. In other words God was some one like us who lived a life like us who achieved the ultimate rewards. I know it seems far fetched, but God had to of come from somewhere, and it also makes since that God would really understand our lives because he had one. I’m not saying he lived on earth, but he lived like us long ago. That’s why (besides the fact he’s our spirit father) he knows what we are going through.

Answer 9

Because God exist outside of time. God has no beginning or end. He is begotten not made. He was not created for he is the creator. He has always been, he is now and always will be God of the universe.

Answer 10

My theory is that god is like our souls.
Our souls havent always been there, but once we were created, we got souls.
I believe the god and goddess rest in the sun, the moon, and the earth, and everywhere else. When those were created, there was a god, to take control, and regulate everything, like a laxitive.
its an inner power that is god, no actual thing, but the belief in something...
