You say God has always been here? Why can't you use that same logic for the universe?

Some people believe God is integrated with the Universe.

God is eternal and uncreated and if God strengthen into created, then He could desire to not be God. So he's a self existent eternal being. God is a non-created being who lives outdoors of time and area. See 2 Peter 3:8, Isaiah 40 3:13; John a million:3; Isaiah 40 two:5 and Jeremiah 10:12; Isaiah 40 six:10.

Hey! Good question! Here's my take on it all.

The term "God" could mean anything...making it a neutral and often times meaningless word that people spend way too much time arguing about...

People who "believe" in "God" are simply doing what they want to do...they give definition to the word and apply it however they want - negatively or positively. In your private life the word is as important as you want it to be.

"God" aside, in the end it's what we do for each other that will make the world a better place. Not arguing and fighting over meaninglessness and silly religious traditions that were developed before the age of modern Science and medicine.

Do your best to promote scientific learning and rational thinking and don't worry about it. Man will always have an obsession with a "higher power" so we might as well get used to it...

Be well!

God said to Moses, " I am" he is the beginning and the end. The universe's logic. Is this the same logic that gasses formed from outer space and created a planet orbiting a sun and then atmosphere formed and brought water and single cell organism that evolved into the human eye in all its complexity. Not to mention survival of the fittest, yet we have many week animals that still exist. Oh yes, I see the " logic" . God is not so far fetched now is it?

Scripture answer
God is “everlasting” in nature (Isa. 40:28), which is to say, he is “eternal” as to his very essence (Rom. 16:26; 1 Tim. 1:17). His existence is “from everlasting to everlasting.” Before the material creation was spoken into existence, he always was (Psa. 90:2).
Logic answer
If there ever was a time when nothing at all existed, then there would be absolutely nothing today. It is an axiomatic truth that if nothing exists, then “nothing” will be the case—always, for nothing simply remains nothing—forever! Nothing plus nothing equals nothing. If there is absolutely nothing but nothing, there cannot ever be something. “Nothing” and “something”—applied to the same object, at the same time—are mutually exclusive terms.
Since it is the case that something does now exist, one must logically conclude that something has existed always. Let us state the matter again: If nothing cannot produce something, and yet something exists, then it follows necessarily that something has existed always. The question then becomes this. What is the “something” that has been in existence always?
In logic, the “law of the excluded middle” states that a thing either is, or it is not. A line either is straight, or it is not straight.
Let us apply this principle to the matter at hand. Something has existed forever. That “something” must be either material in nature, or non-material. If it can be demonstrated that the eternal “something” is not material in nature, then it must follow that the eternal “something” is non-material in nature.

Another term for the “non-material” would be “spirit.” The question now becomes—what does the available evidence reveal? Is it the case that “matter” has existed forever, or does the evidence argue that the eternal “something” is non-matter, i.e., spirit?

The most reputable scientists in the world concede that “matter” is not eternal. In his book, Until the Sun Dies (New York: W.W. Norton, 1977), Dr. Robert Jastrow, founder of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and himself a professed agnostic, describes his perception of the initial creation of the universe. He speaks of that moment when “the first particles of matter appear” (21), thus, prior to that moment, matter did not exist.
Subsequently, he declares emphatically that “modern science denies an eternal existence to the Universe?” (30). There is not a particle of evidence that the universe has existed forever. The very fact that scientists attempt to assign an “age” to the universe is revealing within itself.

In view of the foregoing, namely that something has always existed, and yet that “something” is not of a material nature, the student of logic is irresistibly forced to the conclusion that the “something” that is eternal is non-material—which means it must be “spirit” in its essence. The Scriptures identify that spirit Being as God. “God is spirit?” (Jn. 4:24)—an uncreated, eternal Spirit Being.

Both Scripture and logic, then, in marvelous concert, testify to the fact that God is eternal. He had no origin. He is the everlasting I AM. No one “made” him. He simply IS.

How could the universe have already been here when God had to create the universe. If one wants to know who created God then that person would have to pray and ask him. God said in his word bless is the man that believe and have not seen. Apparently this is a mystery to be revealed when the time comes and God do not want us to know right now.

People are slipping away from God rapidly and there is no such thing as God having a creater. There is just three in one or three divided into one to me all the same. Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Sorry if I bothered any of your beliefs this is personally my beliefs.

There is no reasonable answer to your question. Theists will tell you that god doesn't need a creator because he exists "outside of time" whatever the hell that means. Or that he just 'always was'. The truth is, to exclude god from the question is a logically fallacious argument called 'Special Pleading'.

This question is known in philosophical circles as the rubric of 'Infinite Regression'...aka 'Who made God?'

Practically speaking, it ought not matter (to humans) since God being a Sovereign-omnipotent, He weilds infinite authority & dominion over all of (His) Creation. Therefore, even if there were some other deity beyond 'God', the diety of God that we know is still sovereign over all of mankind...truly end of story insofar as we are concerned!

The Bible (God's absolute & perfect source of authority & instruction to mankind) however describes God as being the supreme, eternal one, the beginning and end of everything that is...all powerful, all knowing, perfectly holy, all righteous & just, all merciful, utterly sovereign, among a host of other supreme attributes reserved to Himself as incommunicable with those of His Creation.

For God to be submissive & subservient to some other (hypothetically) supreme deity would rob God of His attributes of being 'God'...such would be an oxymoron.
