It is beyond the human mind's ability to comprehend the ways of God. That is why He does not even attempt to explain some things to us. Based upon what is known...God is. He does not require that we know everything there is to know about Him. Even when we stand in His presence one day, we will still not have all of the understanding He has. All that will be required of us on that day is a well placed and founded faith in Him, that He is.
God is "Eternal". By definition that means without beginning and without end. God has always been and will always be. He is the Eternal God.
God bless you.
How can God create something from nothing? God is not a man. Everything that mankind has ever created and ever will create is made from what already exists, but God is not a man. God can do the things that man cannot. He can and did make everything from nothing.
The big bang theory has taken some serious hits in recent years by way of the Hubbell Space Telescope. It has been determined that different parts of the universe are expanding at dramatically different rates. No one has been able to explain why this is happening. It does not agree with the laws of physics related to explosions. In an explosion, especially one that occurrs in the vacuum of space where there is no atmosphere to slow anything down, one would expect to see an even expansion radiating outward from the point of explosion, but that is not the case and scientists and astrophysicists cannot explain the discrepancy.

i'm valuable God created the Earth, and that the Bible is trustworthy. i've got no longer studied the undertaking adequate, however, as to tell if the Earth became into created in 6 days or God created the enormous Bangs. There are arguments from Christians in the two area, yet there are different themes plenty extra proper for me on the time. Like a thank you to stay a existence which glorifies God, being free of sin, etc. maybe sooner or later i could have time as to envision this in a extra deeply way.

God created Himself.
Mankind's logic can only go so far. If something was created, something else had to have created it, but then, what created that? You can either go on an endless circle of beginnings, or you can cut it off at the source and say that whatever created everything, had to have come out of itself.
Science does not dispute this though many of its followers do. Science has a growing suspicion that Reality has always existed. That is basically like saying God created himself.
It makes further sense when you think about God being the ultimate or supreme. If something created God, then that thing would be more powerful than God, thus that thing would be God. So the only way to preserve God's supremacy is to admit that logically God had to have created itself. Said in scientific terminology, Reality has always existed.

Some theologians believe that before the universe was created there was nothing but God, then God made the universe by initiating the Big Bang. Things in the universe were made. The thing that was before the universe didn't need to be made, He just always was. Thats one of the things you should believe if you're Christian, that God was there before the universe, He is here now, and will be there after the universe dies (however that'll happen).

I believe something like a "big bang" created our galaxy. I don't believe a "big bang" created the whole universe. I don't think we are even close to knowing just how large and complex this universe is. Maybe our known universe isn't all there is. Maybe there was no "beginning" and it all just is. Why did it all have to be "created"?

What you mean "was nothing" is the material universe. But there is another universe and is existing eternally, that is the spiritual sky. At the beginning of creation the material universe appear in one corner of the limitless spiritual sky as dark cloud appear in the blue sky. And that is God's material energy, where all the material elements and forces are merged together. Later they are separated out one by one (this is described in detail in Srimad-Bhägavatam), just as cream, whey, curds, butter, ghee, and so on can be separated from milk.
God is always existing in His spiritual planet of the spiritual sky, He is living there with innumerable living entities, everything has it origin in the spiritual world, beyond that our mind can not understand.

If, according to you, it isn't possible for God to exist if He wasn't created, then you do realise that we'd never be here? If someone else created God, then who created him? And who created whoever made God? It would just keep going backwards forever, and God will never have come to make the Big Bang happen.
God is the ulitmate Creator. He created all that we can and cannot see. If God needed a creator then He wouldn't be God, would He, because there's someone out there who's superior to Him?

Do Buddhists believe in a creator god?
No, we do not. There are several logical reasons for this. The Buddha, like modern scientists, sociologists and psychologists, believed that religious ideas and especially the god idea have their origins in fear. The Buddha says:
"Gripped by fear men go to sacred mountains, sacred groves, sacred trees and shrines." *Dhammpada 188
Primitive man found himself in a dangerous and hostile world, the fear of wild animals, of not being able to find enough food, of injury or disease, and of natural phenomena like thunder, lightning and volcanoes was constantly with him. Finding no security, he created the idea of god in order to give him comfort in good times, courage in times of danger and consolation when things went wrong. To this day, you will notice that people become more religious at times of crises, you will hear them say that the belief in a god gives them the strength they need to deal with life. You will hear them explain that they believe in god because they prayed in time of need and their prayer was answered. All this seems to support the Buddha’s teaching that the god-idea is a response to fear and frustration. The Buddha taught us to try to understand our fears, to lessen our desires and to calmly and courageously accept the things we cannot change. He replaced fear, not with irrational belief but with rational understanding.
The second reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is because there does not seem to be any evidence to support this idea. There are numerous religions, all claiming that they alone have god’s words preserved in their holy book, that they alone understand god’s nature, that their god exists and that the gods of other religions do not. Some claim that god is masculine, some that she is feminine and others that it is neuter. They are all satisfied that there is ample evidence to prove the existence of their god but they laugh in disbelief at the evidence other religions use to prove the existence of another god. It is not surprising that with so many different religions spending so many centuries trying to prove the existence of their gods that still no real, concrete, substantial or irrefutable evidence has been found. Buddhists suspend judgement until such evidence is forthcoming.
The third reason the Buddha did not believe in a creator god is that the belief is not necessary. Some claim that the belief in a god is necessary in order to explain the origin of the universe. But this is not so. Science has very convincingly explained how the universe came into being without having to introduce the god-idea. Some claim that belief in god is necessary to have a happy, meaningful life. Again we can see that this is not so. There are millions of Atheists, free-thinkers and Buddhists, who live useful, happy and meaningful lives without belief in a creator god. Some claim that belief in god’s power is necessary because humans, being weak, do not have the strength to help themselves. Once again, the evidence indicates the opposite. One often hears of people who have overcome great disabilities and handicaps, enormous odds and difficulties through their own inner resources, through their own efforts and without belief in a god. Some claim that god is necessary in order to give man salvation. But this argument only holds good if you accept the theological concept of salvation and Buddhists do not accept such a concept. Based on his own experience, the Buddha saw that each human being had the capacity to purify the mind, develop infinite love and compassion and perfect understanding. He shifted attention from the heavens to the heart and encouraged us to find solutions to our problems through self-understanding.
But if there is no creator god how did the universe get here?
All religions have myths and stories which attempt to answer this question. In ancient times, when man simply did not know, such myths were adequate, but in the 20th century, in the age of physics, astronomy and geology, such myths have been superseded by scientific fact. Science has explained the origin of the universe without recourse to the god-idea.
