Just as an infant is unable to understand basic science or math, we can't begin to fully comprehend the complexity of God with our imperfect minds. :)
God created this planet for humans. Thus, we are only able to reason from an earthly perspective based on physical laws we are familiar with. What humans take credit for discovering(science), were no more than UNKNOWN truths to us. Not God.
It is sufficient to know that the Lord has no beginning or end, and can not be explained, contained, or limited by any power or law.
Simply be still and know that He is God. Psalm 46:10
Psalm 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.
Psalm 93:2 Thy throne is established of old: thou art from everlasting.
It's beautiful we're unable to explain every detail of the Lord. If we were able to figure him out with imperfect minds, would He truly be worthy of being God? Blessings, Miji

We can only partially comprehend the notion of God's existence. To do so, we must use human concepts to speak of God: "without beginning or end"; "eternal"; "infinite", etc. The Bible says that He has always existed: " . . . even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Psalm 90:2). And, "Your throne is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting" (Psalm 93:2). Quite simply, God has no beginning and no end. So, where did God come from? He didn't. He always was.
To us, the notion of time is linear. One second follows the next, one minute is after another. We get older, not younger and we cannot repeat the minutes that have passed us by. We have all seen the time lines on charts: early time is on the left and later time is on the right. We see nations, people's lives, and plans mapped out on straight lines from left to right. We see a beginning and an end. But God is "beyond the chart." He has no beginning or end. He simply has always been.
Also, physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter. Time exists when matter exists. Time has even been called the fourth dimension. But God is not matter. In fact, God created matter. He created the universe. So, time began when God created the universe. Before that, God was simply existing and time had no meaning (except conceptually), no relation to Him. Therefore, to ask where God came from is to ask a question that cannot really be applied to God in the first place. Because time has no meaning with God in relation to who He is, eternity is also not something that can be absolutely related to God. God is even beyond eternity.
Eternity is a term that we finite creatures use to express the concept of something that has no end -- and/or no beginning. Since God has no beginning or end, He has no beginning. This is because He is outside of time.

Just as in this world, you can create a sub-world of your own where objects move about and reproduce and think they have free will, God also belongs to a world which has its own God which created your God.
Edit:
Think of God's creation as His science project. Recall 'The Matrix'.

No one made God. The Bible says that He has existed for all eternity, throughout all space and time. It is difficult for us to understand, because we are stuck in space and time, but He is not. He created space, matter and time, and He is outside of and not affected by any of them.

Since people say that God is not sciene then He is not limited to the laws set up by man, Therefore we cannot comprehend anything about him.

God has children & wants them to become like him. Some do. Repeat as necessary.

God is something our mind cannot imagine because it has its own limits,if it could imagine He wouldn't be God.
When Greeks imagined Gods they imagined them as creatures who resemble humans they get angry ,jealous... because that is what our mind can understand ,we cannot go beyond our limits if we could we would be powerful as God..

God always exist. Is that hard to believe?

God is all powerful. He always was, is, and will be. He created time for us, not him. God is the creator. No creator is created.
