During a conversation, a priest tried to convince me that God created everything in this world. Finally, I asked him who created GOD; He was upset about such questions. Can anybody inform me in a professional manner who did that job of creating God

God is eternal. He exists outside of the timeline. He has no beginning and no end, no past and no future. He is just the constant "I AM".

It's hard for those of us who were created and have a beginning to fathom how any other being can not also have a beginning, but that's how it is.

I have a hard time believing that a priest would be upset by such a question. I would think he would have just told you that God is self-existing, unlike anything in the world He created, and that we, as created beings, cannot hope to conceive of how this could be. The best we would be able to do is just accept it. It's not a good answer, but it's what I would expect him to say.

That would be almost like a (somehow "alive") computer asking another computer how people can be born, be alive, breathe, think independent thoughts, eperience love, etc.
A computer has no real experience of those things or how they work, only data describing it. A computer would
have trouble imagining it (if it could imagine), in other
words.

My point is that the creator lives in a different "dimention" than what is created with superior ability compared to that which is created.

The Creator created time and space, so that means that God does not "live" by or in time/space rules at all -

the same way as (actually much more than) a person
does not live within a computer's view of what
is possible, what is not possible (and vice versa).
It is as simple as that.

You must have had a pretty green priest. The standard line is that God exists outside of Time and therefore always exists in an eternal present. Simple, eh? Okay, maybe not.

In his defense, the same philosophical problem exists with or without God. The question is either: "What made the universe?" or "What made the thing that made the universe?" Philosophers say it more simply: "Why is there anything?" The answer will probably be the last one to be discovered.

Read my answer to Question what is the difference between faith and true?

We understand that all creation was made by the hand of God (Junk Darwin , if you want to know this question) Lets just look at 1 genesis 1 in the Bible it says In the Beginning God Created the Heavens and the Earth.................and so on now if you pick up any other book on faith there is no beginning now if there is no begining how are we to know the One Who Began it all
firstly the Bible is Authentic and Second there was no need for the creator to be created as he was from before time as he was time himself .if you just read the first two chapters of the first book of the bible you will see that THE CREATOR WAS WILL and always be he is omnipotent omnipresent and omniscient

3 things are eternally present. Brahm (God), Jeevs (souls or spirits), and Maya ( Matter). This is the starting point to discuss the philosophy.

I don't know which priest told you that God created the souls or the Maya. I think everything will mean that also.

So by logic we can easily understand that when we the souls are everpresent, there can not be any question as to, who created God? God is not senior to us, but is superior to us. And so much superior that He is beyond the comprehension of the best intellect.

We are there always, and the God is there always. What we need is to find Him by devotion.

1. Whatever is in the heavens and on earth,- let it declare the Praises and Glory of Allah. for He is the Exalted in Might, the Wise.

2. To Him belongs the dominion of the heavens and the earth: It is He Who gives Life and Death; and He has Power over all things.

3. He is the First and the Last, the Evident and the Immanent: and He has full knowledge of all things.

4. He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and is moreover firmly established on the Throne (of Authority). He knows what enters within the earth and what comes forth out of it, what comes down from heaven and what mounts up to it. And He is with you wheresoever ye may be. And Allah sees well all that ye do.

God is the ONLY First Uncaused Cause, the ONLY First Source and Center of all things and beings. Therefore, no one created God, but God did create everything in the sense of all reality. Then he created beings who can also create... even people like you and me can create things (but not beings and not total, ultimate, reality - that was God's to do.

A priest should have not been upset at this question. I suggest finding another more tolerant church.

But to answer your question, he was never created. He just is. There isn't a better answer to your question, sorry. Read your Bible, all the answers are in there.

God Bless.

Think of it in these terms: Before there was God there was just energy as energy can neither be created nor destroyed it only changes form. Now, our thoughts, our consciousness is energy. Now lets say that the conditions were right for this energy to change form into a consciousness. it'd be kind of like waking from a deep dreamless sleep. Then this being pure thought, thought the rest of the multiverse into existance.

That is why religion is such a hard topic... you have to put your faith in a being that you know nothing about. You can only discover this things, like who created god, who is god, what does he look like, when you pass over to the next life.. or so they say
