If god made everything, what made God?

Question

Can something come from nothing?

Answer 1

Can nothing come from something, grasshopper? The answer is out there and it is in you.

Answer 2

God is the supreme being of the universe. He is the creator of all things (Isaiah 44:24). He alone is God (Isaiah 45:21,22; 46:9; 47:8). There have never been any Gods before Him nor will there be any after Him (Isaiah 43:10). God is God from all eternity (Psalm 90:2). In Exodus 3:14, God revealed His name to His people. The name commonly known in English is Jehovah. This comes from the four Hebrew consonants that spell the name of God.

God is a Trinity, knows all things (1 John 3:20), can do all things (Jer. 32:17,27 - except those things against His nature like lie, break His word, cheat, steal, etc.), and is everywhere all the time (Psalm 119:7-12).

Answer 3

It's hard for the human mind to comprehend, but God ALWAYS was. God has no beginning and no end. This argument could go on forever. Such as: Who made God? If something or someone made God, then who or what made that someone or something? Then--who or what made the thing that made the thing that made God?? The question would never end. Same with evolution. Who or what made ground, water, mammals, life itself. Who or what made matter, atoms, electrons?? Who or what made the thing that made the thing that made matter, atoms, life??? This argument too, would go on forever. Read the Bible, talk to a major denomination to find out more about your question. Bottom line: God is the author of all things. He is without beginning and without end.

Answer 4

One question which inevitably comes up in a discussion of this nature is what is the origin of God? If God created matter/energy, and designed the systems that have propelled matter into its present arrangement, who or what accomplished that for God? Why is it any more reasonable to believe that God has always “been” than it is to say that matter has always “been”? As Carl Sagan has said, “If we say that God has always been, why not save a step and conclude that the universe has always been?”

Answer 5

The current answer is we don't know. However, if God exists outside of space and time then it is plausible that he has and always will exist. The question is from a very humanistic perspective. When thinking about the concept of God, one must allow for possibilities that might seem implausible in our experience.

Answer 6

This is a question to which we humans have no answer for. Perhaps we shall know when we die. But, for now we are not capable of grasping this knowledge...for God was not created, but simply always has existed. God is a Supreme being. He has no beginning, and shall forever be without end.

Answer 7

God always existed.. that is what makes Him God. Everything else was made by Him.

Answer 8

This is indeed the ultimate religious question! Contrary to what the various religious authorities may tell you, I hold that this is unanswerable. A similar question is about the origin of the universe. Cosmologists tell us about the *process*, namely the Big Bang, a great explosion of primordial stuff (called "ylem") that resolved into the kinds of matter we know today. But we don't know how the ylem (pronounced eye-lum) got there.

Answer 9

If this is an attempt to somehow prove evolution over the existence of God...you're pretty much just shooting yourself in the foot.

Can something come of nothing? Where did the molecules come from that mixed somehow perfectly and exploded into an earth full of living organisms? Where did those come from?

Answer 10

When we accept that we cannot and can never understand
God with our own imperfect human thinking, then yes one
can believe that something came from nothing. Personally,
I simply believe what the Bible says..He was, is and always
will be. He was not created. He has always been. To prove it scientifically, you can't ... but remember scienctist are imperfect also.

Answer 11

Your question is about causality, which is a time bound concept, and thus not aplicable to a being supposedly outside of time and space. This is called a category mistake, and makes your question nonsense. Of course, your question is useful in pointing out that theists who ask about the start of the universe make the same mistake.
