Well, you've hit the nail on the head there. If God created everything, what (or who) created God.
The same paradox applies to the universe (if everything we see came out of the big bang, what caused the big bang).
God was not born, he exists in the mind, heart and soul of his followers.

More a case what is God, surely?
Who's to say God is a human form? Being a spirit or a soul (without a body) would render such a being free from any physical traits that any living creature or even inanimate objects would have for that matter.. A spirit cannot have a body, so its hard to determine what God really is if it did exist....

He was born when the human mind evolved enough to have a sense of its own mortality. He was born the same way that all great works of literature and mythology are - in the human mind.
Grace in 9 years old and already has a theology more complex than billions of adults on this earth do.

Who knows,but him.I think of God as universal consciousness and love.We can not see it but it is there ,i believe.He broadcast his wisdom and knowledge throughout space and time much better than a cell tower sends phone signals.Why should we think all smarts comes only in a little human brain.We receive his consciousness like a receiver and he is the ultimate transmitter

How was God born?
Wrapped in swaddling clothes, and laid in a manger; because there was no room for them in the inn.

Difficult one to answer, I can only suggest, " If nothing existed, and there were no stars or Earth, what would be there?" The answer could be God, depends on your point of view and belief.

Islam demands from its followers to believe in God, the Creator of the Universe, but it does not advise them to base such a belief on the statement of any religious book or any authoritative words, not even the word of the Holy Qur'an or of the holy Prophet. Our belief in a holy book, such as the Qur'an, or in a holy prophet, such as Mohammad, must be preceded by our belief in God. A religious book is holy because it is introduced by a man whom we consider a prophet. Prophethood is conceivable only if there is God, because a prophet is a messenger of God. Our belief in God, therefore, must come before our belief in a religious book or a prophet, not vice versa.
No religious book is believed by all people, and no prophet is universally recognized. Therefore, it would be futile to rely on an authoritative statement of a prophet or a holy book when dealing with an atheist who disclaims all heavenly revelations and denies the whole concept of God.

God is the Alpha and Omega. The beginning and the end. He has always been here, and always will be here.
We have a hard time understanding that, because our brains are pea-sized. Just accept it.
The Alpha and Omega. Constant. Never changing. That is such a comfort.

i feel sorry for little grace, as she will never get an answer, just terrified look that say..."what do we do now?!" followed by some cockandbull story.
god is a figment of men's imagination, a name in which they find solace, nothing more.
in brief, he does not exist.
