Before science discovered the Big Bang it was common belief that the Universe had always existed.
Now we know that it did in fact have a beginning, so by your own argument it must have been made which means there must be something uncreated that always existed and was in a dimension beyond time, space and matter that was it's maker.
By definition, an infinite, eternal being has always existed—no one created God. He is the self-existing one—the great 'I am' of the Bible.
God has no need to have been created, since He exists either outside time (where cause and effect do not operate) and/or within multiple dimensions of time (such that there is no beginning of a plane of time). Hence God is eternal, having never been created.
The only other alternative is that the universe itself is eternal, eliminating the need for its creation, but observational evidence contradicts this hypothesis, which leaves us with nowhere to go except a creator.

You better very careful what you say about God, you don't to want to commit an unpardonable sin. Do not blaspheme God.
What ever , you do not have the mind to comprehend,spiritual things, No mortal can.
God was always here, He has no beginning and no ending.
The way you're going with your 'Who' You could go on to infinity. Give it up there is no before or after , God !!!!

Then where would the making stop? I don't believe in any man made god, but something created everything. Scientist create things all the time. Cures, poisons, bombs, the light bulb... We have no idea how we arrived here, but to think something out of nothing comes something just is not logical. Man is too corrupt to be in the image of some all creating being.
Edit. Dita hit the target.

Well, the fact is, is that we were not "made by God"; God doesn't "make" anything, any more than an architect is responsible for actually constructing a building. God has the "idea" and the "Powers, Principalities, and Dominions" carry out the "orders". In the Qabalistic theology, "God" crystallizes out of the "Ain Soph Aur" or "the Negative Limitless Light". This is as far as it goes. Since "God" is in itself a difficult concept to grasp in its entirety, it is simply a waste of mental energy to start up with questions like "Who made God?" when you probably haven't even gotten your mind even halfway around the concept of "God". When you know God, THEN you will have the answer to your question, because to "know God" is to "become one" with God as well!

Big! Big! Question!
Collective Consciousness in chaos reflected upon itself till there was no longer darkness within and that which remained was "Pure Resplendent Light".
This is that Creative Power that man calls "God".

Xians will say the InvisibleSkyGuy always existed and that the InvisibleSkyPixie is way outside normal SpaceTimeLogicReason and they have no problems in believing that BUT ask them to believe in a simple concept like Evolution or BigBang and they get all thingy.
They like us to apply SpaceTimeLogicReason (in a nice and simple manner in which they can understand) BUT somehow justify and excuse themselves from the need to apply the same SpaceTimeLogicReason to their Pixie.
Now, THAT's weird and compartmentalised thinking, dontcha think?

fallacious question...
One example, Assuming that Man is currently in the position of God, and Machines (man-made inventions) in in the position of man.
Can a Machine comprehend where his maker (Man) came from? Can machines possibly understand that we came from multiple cell divisions after mating of our parents?
Machines had their own standard protocols.. Man has also.. and so is God.
Compare spiritual things with spiritual (1 Cor. 2:13)

Well, if something created him, who created that something, then who created that, and then who created that? See, everything has to start somewhere, otherwise there would be an infinite number of creators, never ending.

Now....why are you acting like that? The answer to your question is the one you're hurling out the window. You are thinking in finite human terms. God is not finite. The answer is exactly what you don't want to consider; that He has no beginning and no end.
If you could understand this....how could God be God?

Well, that's pretty much the story in Christianity and Judaism---that God has always existed and always will exist.
I know that's an exasperating answer, but that's the one you're probably going to get from most people.
