If god is eternal this why is it so hard to believe the universe is eternal.

saying god created himself and is beyond the human understanding is like saying "I have an invisible friend who only talks to me and no one else. So he must be real."

God is eternal meaning there was no beginning and they'll be no end.

Complexity is a term related to a understanding. In God what you are privy to is very simple. Who says it is a difficult creation? It was pretty easy for Him. He simply thought it up and then spoke it into existance. The thing to understand is that looking at what you call a complex Universe is only though your physical ability to relate. Step out side of you body mass and then anylize the situation. The whole Universe may only be as big the head of a needle. Without a perception of the human kind, the whole thing could be noting but spiritual. It may be that the only reason you concieve of it the way you do is because of the gross material way you view your own vehicle, or your body. God is much bigger then this Universe, ability wise. He can turn on the light and keep it going for ever. This means that there are things being created at this moment that you will not get to witness until you get closer to the reflection of this truth.

A fundamental mistake lies in his assumption that a divine designer is an entity comparable in complexity to the universe. As an unembodied mind, God is a remarkably simple entity. As a non-physical entity, a mind is not composed of parts, and its salient properties, like self-consciousness, rationality, and volition, are essential to it. In contrast to the contingent and variegated universe with all its inexplicable quantities and constants, a divine mind is startlingly simple. Certainly such a mind may have complex ideas—it may be thinking, for example, of the infinitesimal calculus.
We now have pretty strong evidence that the universe is not eternal in the past but had an absolute beginning about 13 billion years ago in a cataclysmic event known as the Big Bang. What makes the Big Bang so startling is that it represents the origin of the universe from literally nothing. For all matter and energy, even physical space and time themselves, came into being at the Big Bang. As the physicist P. C. W. Davies explains, "the coming into being of the universe, as discussed in modern science . . . is not just a matter of imposing some sort of organization . . . upon a previous incoherent state, but literally the coming-into-being of all physical things from nothing."
With the proof now in place, cosmologists can no longer hide behind the possibility of a past-eternal universe. There is no escape, they have to face the problem of a cosmic beginning.
1. Whatever begins to exist has a cause.
2. The universe began to exist.
3. Therefore, the universe has a cause.

God most certainly created the universe, as well as everything in it. But no one created God. For He has always existed, and will forever exist. Our minds are not able to comprehend how that God has always existed, but believe me, it is truth. So just accept the face concerning God, and forget the matter. For you will never find an answer that satisfies your mind.

God, as you know her was created by Mesopotamians. I find that for most answers to complicated questions on science and mathematics I go straight to the Mesopotamians for the correct answer.
Forget MIT and CalTech, Princeton Institute for Advanced Studies, Cambridge, U of Chicago, Columbia and the rest. Go with barely out of the Caves Mesopotamians for the truth. Christians do!

by your thesis, the argument would never end...
who created God? then who created THAT God? then who created THAT God who created THAT God? What happened to all those other gods who created the other gods, who created THAT God...
Logic like that can never see an answer, because there is none.

Either idea/question is nonsense. Causality requires time to have a meaning. Any source to the universe (or source of that source) would exist outside of space/time. See the problem here?

God was not created- He is the Creator. He began time itself so there was no "before God"

God and the universe were created at the same exact time.
Did I just blow your mind?
