God, hey???

Question

I'm not commenting on peoples beliefs as everyone has a right to believe what they want but, who created god, if god has made the whole world and all the people in it, who created him? He couldn't of just created himself.

Personally I believe in science more than religon, but I have always wondered, and my teachers at sunday school or any one else have never been able to answer it, they just get upset.

Answer 1

Obviously a much more ancient and more powerful god...

You're not supposed to point out the plot holes in the book!

Answer 2

Yes, this is an often asked question, and I tend to agree that in favoring science you can at least be assured that science is not a closed system, whereas religion is. God did it. End of story. That said, there is some interesting theory about time zero. Stephen Hawking touched on it briefly in his book "A Brief History of Time." At those very first nanoseconds, the arrow of time, according to physics, is not confined to moving in a forward direction, and there is a whole realm of "infinite" permutations within that brief period of time. I use "infinite" in quotes because the concept of inifinity is in and of itself a logical conundrum. If you like you can Google things like "false vacuum," "scalar fields," "virtual particles," "multiverse," and best of all, you can read Brian Greene's "The Elegant Universe." Not that you'll get through it, he always loses me about halfway through, but the first half of the book is truly amazing and it covers some concepts that size isn't everything, that distance and time are likewise illusory, and it covers quantum weirdness. Another great book is by Tim Ferris, "The Whole Shebang," an excellent study of cosmology and where we are today. None of these things will answer your question about who created god, but the concept of god assumes facts not in evidence and, as pointed out in these books, with the Big Bang and its high energy synthethis of hydrogen, helium, and a bit of lithium, which started the ball rolling, things have evolved quite nicely on their own from that point forward, thank you very much, without help from an outside source. So if god exists, he has been out of a job for an estimated 13.7 billion years.

One last thing. Either god created the universe or the universe created the universe. Obviously, since we and the universe exist, it was created. Why people have to believe that some master architect designed it is beyond me. Light, energy, and a potential imbalance, a quantum flux in an infinite field of potential energy (false vacuum) may have caused the universe to unfurl in 4 dimensions that we know about, and 6 other dimensions curled up really small (string theory). String theory has many more questions than answers, but it is the only game in town when it comes to unifying the four forces known to exist in the universe: Light, the strong nuclear force, the weak nuclear force, and gravity.

Answer 3

I believe that God, was apart of something bigger.
Maybe he was created from something- or I believe, that he was already here.

People always look science. But they are looking at things in such a small way.

We see the Big Bang Theory, and we see the universe as something huge and diverse,
and yet I believe that the universe is so small and insignificant compared to GOD.

What you have to look at is the bigger picture. What is the universe really? It could be such a small thing- we could alll be just toys, beings that were created for reasons unknown.
I've had the same thoughts as you, and I am christian- and well I think that we are all apart of something way way bigger than ourselves. We see the planets, the sun and the stars and we think that thats it. That we are the only things here, that the universe, the large scope is the big picture-
but its not.

Its all apart of a larger ordeal.

Answer 4

The answer God gave Moses at the burning bush makes more sense in this question. God told Moses when Moses asked who should I say told me these things. God said " I Am". For in the beginning God was and no other description was in existence. John 1:1 goes on to say that In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He ( stating that Jesus was the Word) was with God in the beginning.
3) Through Him all things were made. ( Him goes back to He in verse 2 therefore is also Jesus for He is God)

Answer 5

I was honestly just thinking about asking a question like this! --I was going to post something whether or not people believed in God, or Evoloution. Both ways to me are very hard to come by, Its not that I don`t believe in God-- its just no one can give me a logical answer as to what was BEFORE God! You know - like 1800 B.C (before Christ) Im justas lost as you. But I really dont think weevolved from Monkeys?!

Answer 6

God created our time-space universe, therefore, since God created time, God is timeless/eternal and since God created space, God is infinite.

Therefore, God didn't require a beginning unlike everything our universe. God has always existed in a "dimension" with no time or space.

It is hard for our finite minds to grasp, but with faith, we know that God is the creator of all things.

Answer 7

God has already been here for trillions and zillions of quadrillions or gazillions and forever. God pretty much was automatically created or He created himself. so no one created God but himself.

Answer 8

No one. God was never created, nor willl He ever cease to exist. It is one of those things that we foolish and stupid humans will not know untill we (If your a CHristain that is) go hoem to Heaven, then all will be revealed.

Answer 9

As humans we assume something has to have a beginning, because in our perspective everything does.
Perhaps God has always been, maybe He does not have a beginning.

Answer 10

HE did not create HIMSELF, HE always existed. Can't do better than that. I just accept it. There are many things that cannot be explained, however, we just accept them as they are.

GOD bless
