If you want to know how the universe came into existence then look to science.
All that the bible could come up with is that god created the universe in about a week some 6,000 years ago as described in the book of genesis. It may now seem incredible but most people actually believed in this garbage until Charles Darwin showed it to be a lie back in the mid 19th century.
You highlighted a very important point in your question regarding the fact that if a god created the universe who initially created god. This is a question which the creationists have conveniently chosen to ignore. The reality is, of course, that man invented god back in primitive times in order to try and explain what early man could not understand.
Luckily we now live in an age of science and though there are still many simple, uneducated people out there who still believe in primitive religions thankfully their numbers are getting smaller and smaller each year.
If you want to know the truth about religions then read Richard Dawkins' excellent book The God Delusion. It is to the 21st century what the bible was to the dark ages!

This is a question which of course, completely disproves the notion of an omniscient, omnipotent creator of everything. for example, the chain of logic runs thusly:
a) if the earth is too complex to have come about by chance, then there could have been a creator.
b) logically therefore, this hypothetical creator must be a degree of magnitude more complex than the universe he supposedly created...
c) ...and is, therefore, too complex to have existed by chance.
Of all the arguments I've heard against this, the most common is the 'god exists outside of time/space/causality' sidestep, which is of course completely irrelevant since they state that god exists - and is therefore, too complex to exist by pure chance. the exact location in space/time of his existence is irrelevant to the question.
In answer to your question, no-one, because he didn't.

God created the earth,He didnt invent it.
In the begining god was present bfor we were.No1 invented him.God created the earth bcoz he was alone so he created the earth and put a man in it with whom he can talk and share everything.then further he made the other things like animals,birds.etc.. for man to enjoy life.Further he saw that man was not happy so he took out one of the ribs from man and made a woman out of it for his pleasure.And that's how the earth was created.
Even today man has 1 rib less bcoz a woman was created out of it.
If u have a bible with u please read the first 2 chapters of genesis.
You'll get ur answer.
God bless u dear.

At some point in the 'beginning' (whenever that was) there had to be the 'first' life form. The 'Christians' call that first life form God.
Either life, came from non-life; or God (life) existed from the beginning

God doesn't need another god to make him. God has no limit or else he wouldn't be called God.
