People who belive in god where did god come from?
If your answer is, "He has always been there," than why is it so absurd to believe that matter has been around for ever?

If God created matter, than how could God consist of matter? This is a logic error. The solution is simple then, God is not matter. It says repeatedly He is spirit.

God is everything. He came from nothing. Still nothing wanted to be something and that something was God. Basically all the energy in the universe gets pulled together to the point it gets so warmed up it explodes in search of its own place in the universe. Thus, religion and science are both right. This process happens over and over again. You see the universe can only spread out so far until it cools down to a point in which it starts to seek warmth and returns to form the next big bang. The universe is in a constant state of either going from or coming to God. This is true evolution, although nothing ever really changes, it repeats. Thus, God is not an active God. All the pieces of everything is what defines God. We are the defined dream of the undefined dreamer. This is the truth, hope it helps.

He is eternal. He has been, is, and will always be. The only thing absurd about believing that matter has been around forever is that all things were created by Him, so matter had a specific starting point.

Depends on your belief. Biblically, God has always been around....a concept our feeble, mortal minds can not comprehend.
Atheists will say that God is a figment of our imagination in order to give meaning to our lives.
Other beliefs say that God was actually alien intervention here on Earth that helped to create humans with genetic manipulation and helped us created the first civilizations.
Regardless, do you feel comfort in a belief that we live, we die, then we cease to exist forever? No memories, no feelings, no concept of time? What's the point of life than? If the Earth blows up, would the universe care?
Has to be something more to it than just living.

I believe that we simply don't have a grasp of time sufficient to allow us to deal with the length of time that God OR matter has existed. To talk about time in this sort of massive sense gets a little pointless, and I don't think there's any "before" or "after" when you talk about existence or God.
Sorry, that's not very clear, but I hope you get a bit of an idea what I mean.

God never required a creator or a beginning for that matter, this is why: God created our time-space universe, since God created time dimension, God is not subject to time, therefore, God is eternal/timeless. God transcends time and space! In that way, God has always existed unlike the universe which started 13.7 billion years ago. God bless.

It is absurd to you because you are not like God. We are made in the image of God means that we know what is right and what is wrong. He is not limited like us. He is the alpha and omega. Try to figure out the last number and then you get to be closer with figuring out God and His character.

No what really matters is the truth. What is the truth?
God has always been here, material things has not.
We cannot understand the spirit realm because we are not a part of spirit creatures.

Its the same story for the muck that was used in the big bang. Honestly, it doesnt really matter what I believe, what matters is what feels right to you.
