Humans created god.
Why? To frighten gullible sheep into staying in the pews and filling the collection plate.
That's pretty much it really.

God is since ever and he will be forever, he is the creator of every thing .....so only this is the limit of human mentality....may be we need some Prophet, Jesus, Moses, Muhammad or any (May blessings and Peace upon them) to ask this question.....but u no y this question is never asked before cuz it shows u have doubt about the existance of God and this makes ur faith weak and takes u out of the religion.......these all problems are presnt day inventions people before us had strong faiths......and to them it was enough that they have been created by some one who is the greatest among all he is neither the son nor the father of any one and no one could be equal to him.....He is every where but to c and feel him one need to have very strong faith and people who dont have faith could never feel or see him......

Welcome to infinite regression. Once you answer that, then you have to say, "and who created that one?" so on and so on, never coming to the end. God is reality. He is the uncaused first cause. All things that exist came into being because He created them. Time is a condition of spatial reality. God is not time nor is He bound in time. He made the universe and is not subject to the laws of physics, quantum physics or any other law or condition you try to impose. Think on these things.

We are so conditioned to thinking in terms of the physical...in terms of time and space. God exists outside of our physical paradigm. He has always been, and will always be. That is difficult for our finite human logic to grasp, but so is quantum physics.

Is there anything that exists beyond this physical world? Is there a whole different dimension that we are not even aware of? If so, how can we even begin to fathom what all that entails? How can we even begin to speculate on what else lies beyond the physical? Many people picture God "sitting around doing nothing" (before the creation of our universe). That is picturing God in physical human terms. Obviously that's natural for us, because we have no way of comprehending anything larger. God, the creator of elements and laws, exists outside of time & space...

Religion started out as an explanation of the natural world. You could say it started out as ancient science. Primitive people saw the sun and said, "Hey, that must be a god, and that moon over there....that's another god." They saw things in the world and attempted to explain what they were, and the origin of everything around them, because, in the end, we as people do not like the unknown. It makes us scared and uncomfortable. We need an explanation about everything, especially where we came from and why we are here.

Now, regardless of whether modern religions are right or wrong or just another complex evolution of primitive man's explanation of life- I don't knock religion. It's our right to believe whatever we want to believe, and find comfort in whatever we can.

Prophet Muhammad predicted that this question would one day be raised as he correctly predicted a great many future events of importance. On one occasion he said:

A day will certainly come when some people will sit with their legs crossed and ask: ‘Given that God created everything, who created God?’ (Bukhari, ‘I‘tisam,’ 3).

Those who put such questions are generally atheists or inclined to atheism and seek to lead others astray also. The purpose of their question is possibly to avoid the responsibilities owed by us to the Creator; belief and worship. At best, the question is derived from the observation of (what are taken to be) ‘cause and effect’ relationships. Every circumstance can be thought of as an ‘effect’ and attributed to an antecedent circumstance or ‘cause’ which, in turn, is attributed to some circumstance antecedent to it, and so on. In the first place, it is obvi­ous to anyone who reasons objectively that the notion of ‘cause’ is only an hypothesis, it has no objective exis­tence: all that objectively exists is a particular, often (but not always) repeated sequence of circumstances. Secondly, if this hypothesis is applied to existence as a whole, we cannot find a creator of it because each creator must have a creator before that creator, in a never-ending chain. (In fact, the futile notion of a never-ending chain of creators was one of the arguments used by Mus­lim theologians to explain the necessity of believing in God.)

The Creator must be Self-Subsistent and One, without like or equal.

It is self-evident that the Creator must be Self-Subsistent and One, without like or equal. If any created being can be said to ‘cause’ anything, that capacity to ‘cause’ was itself created within that being. Thus, no being in the universe can be said to be self-existent; rather, it owes its existence to the Creator who alone is Self-Existent as well as Self-Subsistent. It follows from the fact that the Creator alone truly creates that for each and every being He has determined all possible ‘causes’ and ‘effects’, all things whatever that come before or after it. Therefore, we speak of God as the Sustainer, who holds and gives life to His Creation from first to last. All ‘causes’ have their beginning in Him, and all ‘effects’ find their ending in Him. In truth, created things are no more than so many ciphers or zeros which, no matter how many we put in a series, add up to nothing, unless a positive ‘one’ is placed before the series to give it value. In just this way, the creation could have no real existence, nor any value, except by God.

What we call ‘causes’ have no direct or independent influence in existence, no direct or independent ‘effects’. It may be that we need to speak of ‘causes and effects’ in order to understand how, in a short space and over a lit­tle period of time, some part of the Creation is made (by the Mercy of God) intelligible to us and available to us for our use. But even this but confirms our dependence upon God and our answerability before Him. It is not God who needs ‘causes and effects’ to create; rather it is we who need ‘causes and effects’ to understand what He has created. He alone is the First and the Last, the Eternal, the Initiator and the Determiner—and all our busy little efforts after cause and effect are but veils between ourselves and His Majesty.

Let us then affirm once more: He, God, is One; God, the Self-Subsistent, Eternally-Besought-of-All; He neither begets nor was begotten; and nothing whatever is like unto Him.

Humans created god, in our own image and likeness.

Saying "God created everything", then falling back on "Nothing created God; he always existed" doesn't give us any real answers.

Who knows. The same thing that created all the Mass science says has always existed in the universe!

One day maybe you'll be able to ask that question of God and maybe you'll get an answer.

Humans....most all societies and indigenous tribes around the world have an inner sense of a god head or higher being.
