If you think there simply being an Earth and life is proof that God created it, because things don't just come from nothing, then how can you beleive that a being powerful enough to create it all essentially came from nothing?

Much is based upon faith, and I believe that God has always existed... nothing came before God and nothing will exist after God.

Well, I think your problem is, like everybody else's, that you just can't imagine anything without a beginning and without an end. We are final creatures at the starting point, starting to exist from the moment of conception and never ceasing to exist but because we were never able to see behind death, we take as a finishing point. There is evidence of finality everwhere around us so we can't even grasp the idea that something might have always existed and will always exist. That's why your question has an internal contradiction - there is no starting point for God. If you say that God came from nothing, in fact you are saying there was a point in time when he didn't exist and so there might be a point in time when God will cease to exist. If He was like that, He wouldn't be a God after all, would He?

God didnt come from nothing because He is self existent which means that there was never a time when He didnt exist.
Mankind cannot comprehend the time before creation because its not in our human nature or understanding for beings to NOT be created!
I answer this way because I completely trust in God's Word which is the Gospel Truth.

It's not that God "needs" a creator. It's that a universe of things existing contingently needs something that exists necessarily, otherwise there would be nothing for anything to be contingent upon. "God" is that being which exists necessarily rather than contingently. If you say the universe might exist necessarily, I'd counter that the universe is not a "thing," but a group of "things," all of which exist contingently.

If existence is moving in a circle and there is no beginning or end. No single point of 'creation'. The Universe runs out of energy and space crunches back down and disappears, but eventually it expands once more and begins all over again.

The Greatest question of all time was asked in the Bible. "Could God furnish a table in the wilderness?" To date God has not furnished a table in the wilderness and I see that as evidence against his existence.

Why do you believe that if all matter simply always was, that it isnt as equally plausible that there is a God who always was?

Either you believe in God or your don't. My premise is that God exists. Your premise is that He does not. One of our premises are wrong.
