What I believe as an agnostic:
God exists in a different metaphysical plane where matter as we understand it does not exist. God does not have a form. God would be like an emotion. Happiness is not a tangible object, yet it is real, and can be experienced.
As for where he came from... God was never created. We could argue that he was created yesterday, 50 years from now, or that he's being created right now. None of that has any relevance outside of our physical plane.
He didn't exist forever, because in his metaphysical plane there is no matter, and thus no time. He existed forever to us because we live in a physical universe which required a beginning. At that beginning God existed, and at the end God will exist, but to him that span of time wouldn't exist at all.
To him, everything that will happen has already taken place, and everything that has ever happened is occurring right now. This is how he is omnipotent, and without form he is infinite.

Dear Aroura,
I used to ponder this same question as a child every night after the lights went out.
Who made God?
What IF He had never been made?
Around and around and around my thoughts raced.
It went on for days and weeks and months and years.
But then somehwere along the line
I simply accepted
God IS.
He is the same Yesterday and Today and Forever.
Human minds cannot even begin to comprehend such things. When I did accept this awesome information my eyes were opened and I found peace that passes all understanding.
God IS!

All of people and all of things in this world made by god this is impossible to underestanding where did god from, because you may make a thing for example a sofware, your software can not underestand where did you from, so we make by god and we know that god isn't human or people or another thing and knowing where did god from don't meaning.

The problem with the god hypothesis is that it cannot explain the origin of complexity. Presupposing a prior greater complexity only makes a bigger problem or leads to infinite regression.
Christians think by stating their god is timeless or eternal that this addresses the issue of complexity. It does not. The issue is not time, but one of complexity. The more complex a system is the more unlikely the possibility of that state just existing without exterior context. If a system has one bit the odds are one half. If a system has two bits of complexity the odds are one fourth etc .
Christians claim a god with infinite complexity and no external context. The odds for this are essentially zero.
By external context, one means the system is part of a greater system which provides context for it's state. Usually in the form of a selection effect, but it could also be an evolutionary mechanism or designer. But Christians claim their God, was neither designed, evolved nor was part of a greater whole.
The only possible answer to this conundrum of how reality exists, it seems to me is that reality as a whole is not complex but simple. Since the part of reality we see seems complex, it must have external context. The likely reason then for the observable complexity is a huge selection effect: ( Our own existence ). Only in locally complex regions within the simple whole can beings such as ourselves evolve.

Woah what an original question, no one in the world has EVER asked this before.
And as for the guy who quoted Dawkins' nonsense hypothesis, thats some nice free thinking there.

There is no God nor is there a need for one. Everything is eternal there is no beginning or end. I can't understand why this is asked every day if you have the least bit of intelligence it is easy enough to understand.

to come from somewhere ... you will have to "not be" somewhere ... but God is everywhere ..... before he created.... space also didnt exist.... and you need space for anything to exist.... so ...since there is no space.... there is no here or there ....
