You'll have to get right with him and then ask him when you see him...
But realistically, there isn't a need for there to be a creator of the creator, because of eternity, and infinity. Because we have Time, we know there had to be a starting point to the universe and thus some how time had to have started. How do we know? Well astronomy says that the universe is expanding, so if it is expanding, then it had to have expanded from somewhere, and that something had to been created and time from that point has to have started.
If there were no time, and nothing changed, and everything were infinate than there is no need for a creator, because of infinity. That's what the bible says about God. God is infinate and never changes. Because of this there is no reason for God to have had a creator.
Let me give an example. If there were a pen cap floating and that's all that existed. That pen cap never moved and it was there for eternity, then it would be impossible for someone to have designed or created the pen cap, because creating infers change and time. If the pen cap always was, then it could have never had a creator.
I hope this made a little bit of sense...

There are 2 opportunities - both sufficiently complicated entities require a more effective complicated clothier or complicated entities are in a position to come back from a lot less complicated entities. If a sufficiently complicated entity calls for a clothier, then the clothier, being more effective complicated, also calls for a clothier by technique of that rule. the in common words option is that no longer each complicated entity calls for a clothier... in which case, why posit a clothier in any respect. So convinced, smart layout ability that there should be a limiteless regress of smart designers. --- associates: in case you anticipate that there is one entity that has continuously existed (to that end averting the want for a clothier), why no longer start up with the some distance more straightforward hypothesis "the universe has continuously been"?

This is not a paradox and is not subject to the law of infinite regression.
The argument based on causality is that all finite and contingent things require a cause. God is neither, therefore he wouldn't require a cause. He is essentially uncaused. It's not something that can be proven, but neither is the concept of an eternal universe. Both are untestable, so neither can be proven. I feel that an Intelligent Designer, mind produced matter, makes more sense than a matter produced mind approach.

A more intelligent designer, of course! Keep going back, and how far can one go back? Eventually, you reach the last and most intelligent designer, who, by definition, CANNOT have a designer. Meet God!!

its an annoying question. because then we would have to ask who designed the intelligent designer of the intelligent designer. no one created God.....it has to start somewhere

Can religious people who try to answer this question please have the courtesy to do so without quoting their religious books? If we ask a question about the existence of god, to quote god by way of reply is simply to beg the question. It's like if you ask me if there are any oven chips in the freezer, and I reply 'Oven chips are tasty.'
The answer is of course that semi-intelligent religious people designed him, just as very intelligent religious people designed god way back when.

lets ask
Why has the intelligent designer allow the intelligently designed to question the design of the intelligent designer?

God is outside Space and Time, he is the alpha and the omega. The beginning and the end. He exists before and after everything. He Is and He will be. You will understand one day, God will reveal His plan to us all, in Christs second coming.

No one created God. God has been here always. Otherwise He was not God.God is the grand Designer, no one designed Him.
