Where is bible does it say that God is uncreated? How can we assume that he is uncreated? Maybe he didn't tell us in Bible, maybe there is bigger God than him.
Where in Bible does it "CLEARLY" tells you that God was never created. I don't want answers like he lived for eternity and forever and all that crap. I want to know, Where does it clearly say that "God created himself or need not be created".
CLEARLY

"IN THE BEGINNING" can be used as beginning of Universe. But god exists outside universe as you say, so what about God's beginning?

Nowhere in Genesis does it say, "And God was not created."

It is implied. The Bible is written with the premise that God exists...it does not try to prove His existence. So, having answered your question that the Bible does not clearly state this...only implies it...here are a couple of interesting links (I cut and pasted some excerpts) to experts who can say this in far better words than I can.
God is not in the category of things that are created, or come into existence, or are caused. God is uncaused and uncreated - He simply exists.
How do we know this? Well, we know that from nothing, nothing comes. So if there was ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence then nothing would have ever come to exist. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been existing. That ever-existing thing is what we call God.

If God is a being that is unlimited in time, and if He has access to every piece of time as if it were now, the question of who created God is an invalid question. The problem is like asking a student to draw a four-sided triangle. The terminology is self-contradictory.

It doesn't. No clear answers in religion, all theory and faith.
And I don't think you mean "uncreated" which would mean he existed and was then unmade. maybe "not created" would be better.
The idea of a Transcendent god assumes he is outside of space and time, he "surpasses physical existence, and in one form is also independent of it" so he cannot be created, or uncreated, or not created. We see this model in the fact that he can create from nothing...
the other creation story in genesis "Immanent god" must use soil to create Adam etc...

In the beginning God created. God is the beginning and the end, He is the Alpha and the Omega

First sentence.... "In the beginning, God".....
OK, as follow up to your follow up.
You aren't going to find anything that makes that statement and to think the lack of it automatically invokes the oposite that wouldn't make any sense because you would be at the obvious question of "who created God?"
This beginning in Genesis is at the beginning of creation.
Prior to creation, just God. Time (at least our time) didn't yet exist since it is part of this universe God created.
When God gave His name to Moses "I AM" the implications are extrordinary and say it all.

Are you in a good sound of mind? Do you have enough knowlegde and intelligence ? Are you not below the average kind of mankind?
God said that He is the creator himself, can he c reate himself? Can you create your nose?ears? eyes? and your body? Have you created your own mind which is very much below the average man?

God cannot be defined. Not even in mathematics. God is everything.
God is the begining and the end.
God is alpha and Omega.

well at least for my beliefs, "God" is definitionally "the top of the heap" you could say, that there is definitionally none greater.
and by the nature of that it is by definition ther eis no creator of God because that would then be God. the nature of the absoluteness of the singular God concept, has that there is no creator above God.

Actually, it is implied in the name YHWH. The name implies existence without the need of a creator.
Personally, I think that it is a large amount of a brown, disgusting, semi-solid substance that has been eliminated from the digestive tract of a sexually functional male bovine.

John 1: 1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was with God in the beginning.
3Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
edit: LOOK UP^^^^ without him NOTHING was made that was made
