Although I do believe that God does exist, I'll never understand how God came into existence?

Question

That is where did God come from? I think Genesis explains God's existence. He was always there. The Alpha and the Omega. But how did he get there? Everything has a creator! But God doesn't. He is the ultimate Creator (with all due respect .) This is one mystery that I will never fully understand. But knowing this will not change my mind that there is a God. I'm human and God after all is God. There are things in this world and in this universe that we as humans may never understand until the day that we meet with God. Constructive thoughts and comments only. If not, jog on.

Answer 1

I'm like you too, But I'll never understand why he lets things happen that he does. Especially to babies and young children. I guess I'm not suppose to understand.

Answer 2

I choose to believe that Matter always existed in some form. Pre bigbang, it may have been in a singular point, who knows, but there is nothing stopping me from believing that it has always been around.

God on the other hand, has no evidence backing up his existence. Christians will usually say that if there is a creation, there has to be a creator. This doesn't work for me, because there are more Galaxies in existence than grains of sand on the earth, so life most likely exists in some form somewhere else, and a creator isn't needed with so many galaxies, planets and stars available for life to have 'accidentally' evolved.

People who state the odds are against life, don't really grasp the imensity of the universe.

Answer 3

Everything PHYSICAL has to have a creator. Things which are not physical do not require a creator. God is made of a "material" that is outside of the laws of time, space and physics. He is a spirit.

Too many people picture God inside of the universe as if he is a part of it. The Bible presents a God who is outside of the universe, existed before anything physical came into being, and the cause of it all. It pictures a universe which is inside of God, and yet only a small part of him and his existence.

As humans, we live in a world that is dominated by time, space, substance, and physics. So it is hard for us to think outside of that box. But when we do, that is where we find God.

Answer 4

I think this is one of those things we won't ever fully understand till we get the chance to ask God Himself. Concepts such as eternity and nothingness and omniscience/omnipresence are beyond the scope of the human mind. We just cannot fathom them in their entirety.
I think God is best represented as a circle, or a infinity sign if you will. He didn't need a creator; He was always there. This is hard to think about, but like you say, he is God and we are men. It would border on arrogance to say that God doesn't exist because we can't understand certain things about Him. That's like saying, "Because I don't understand quantum physics, it is therefore not a legitimate science."

Marooned on Earth: Actually, I think your argument applies only to the physical realm. It doesn't address certain abstract concepts such as logic or omniscience. For example, supposing I was God and I wanted to paint something, I would make paint and a canvas. But I would also need an imagination and a creative sense to put a picture on that canvas. I don't need to "make" an imagination or creativity; I already have one.
So I think God already had certain attributes in place-- ie., logic, omniscience and other omni's, imagination, the desire to create, etc.

But it made me think a bit about morality. God put certain laws in place to govern His Creation-- such as "do not murder" and "do not lie" because ultimately they lead to the detriment of His children. They work *against* what He intended. So morality would, in a sense, not have existed before God created the universe. I don't think morality would have been necessary in the beginning, since sin didn't exist yet.
Just musing here.

Answer 5

He is the Alpha and Omega!!!

It is my belief, with knowledge of the Bible, that some things that may not be listed in the Bible - were by God's choice not to be in the Bible (somethings he spoke of not being included, ie: those who offended Him) Bible: Exodus 32:31-33. For this reason, maybe they shouldn't be questioned. And if they are - don't believe everything you are told.

To mention one more thing: The internet is a wonderful tool in researching information previous generations did not have access to.

If my statement sounds contradictory, that's because it is. I'm still torn as to the right and wrong of increased knowledge regarding Bible passages and understanding.

Peace be with you

Answer 6

Considering the size of the universe and the vastness of space. Understanding God and his knowledge would be like an ant trying to drive a cadillac. Our brains aren't capable of understanding the complexities of God's existence or his creation. The only proof that God exists is the great detail that is needed in order for Human life to flourish. The conditions in order for us to be here are so perfect that only a supreme being would be able to manipulate it in such a way. The ratio of Nitrogen to oxygen in our atmosphere, the distance of our planet from the sun, our moon and the way it protects us from space debris, the earth's tilt, everything is completely perfect. Too perfect to be a coincidence.

Answer 7

Welcome to the wonderful world of logical reasoning. If you would, follow me down this line of thought. God is all-knowing, all-powerful and ever-present, yet somehow, knowing what we know about the passage of time, the paradigm of time-space and all the measurable forces that act upon it, He offers no explanation for the contradictions that His presence creates. Therefore, which would you find most likely?
God exists but does not want his children to have knowledge of Him, apart from a heavily edited codex from over 2000 years ago. (Edited, complied and interpreted by only a handful of men over several centuries.)
or
God is an invention of Man's intellect to explain that which he cannot, similar to the mythologies of ancient civilizations, i.e. the Greek, Roman, or Norse.
Take all this with a grain of salt, please. However, you should take the opposing view with a grain of salt as well, or this fails to be a logical debate and you can say or think whatever suits you regardless.

Answer 8

Timeless beings do not have a creation... God is eternal and unchangeable for all eternity. Only unto man is time allotted. Time is a dimension created for man so that we can change... have a chance to repent and prepare to meet God. God has always existed in His perfect unchangeable state and has no creation. This is how God can know the past and future... He is currently there. This is a difficult concept for humans to understand who are under the constraints of time.

Answer 9

From a theoretical viewpoint, as I understand it, time cannot exist without space (the two require each other). Since God created space, the universe as we know it, He created time. I.E., time is an illusion. "Before" the universe, time did not exist. No one created Jehovah God. If you do not accept this theory, than you must believe that there was a "time" when absolutely nothing existed: no time, no space, no matter, no energy, no Creator, absolutely nothing. kjooksja2

Answer 10

Dear

That is the Definition of God:

While He is the Ultimate Creater and the Sustainer of Everything which Exists, You will not be able to Understand How He came into Existence.

Answer 11

Its a question we all have. Its too complex for us to understand, of course you will have people who will say " its simple He doesn't exist" but then again how can you explain everything thats here today. The only thing we can do is have Faith and know that He was here before anything, it is hard to understand, and some may say I'm brainwashed but I just reply " Nope, Im in love."
