i think a lot of things. i like your question though. according to many sources in support of god, "how can this or that be? it must have a maker." like how can that chair be? man made it. how can that man be? parents made it. etc, etc, etc, but then we get to the 1st parents, who made them? according to man, 'god' made man. problem 1: man made god up. problem 2: by the same logic, god must have been made by an even greater being or entity of some sort, and that one in turn by another, and so on. problem 3: seriously, where's the effin' proof? problem 4: when there's multiple explanations for a single scenario and they are equally likely as unlikely with equal amounts of evidence supporting them then logically the simplest explanation is the most likely one; in this case that would be there's no 'god'. problem 5: chances are you refer to the 'god' named in the bible and, supposing he exists; this god is supposedly all good and all powerful - then why so much evil, pain, suffering, etc in the world? by all the facts, he is JUST as likely to ACTUALLY be all evil and powerless (if you truly consider all things, you too could see this)
some ppl quoted the bible here. problem there is man wrote the bible (the bible even says so. where the words came from is irrelevant in my point here). man is fallable. the bible has been re-written many many times and by rules of logic, life, reality, and human fallacies it cannot be the same words as it was in its original form. further, in translation and such, the bible has been subjected to much interpretation, giving way to re-wording, which, man being all messed up as we are, would grossly distort the original message. lastly, if the bible was the book of books and a finality on its contents, why the hell was a new testament written? that makes no sense; if god is omniscient he woulda got it right the 1st time. agree with me? i tip my hat to you and thank you for reading this. disagree? i pity you
so, to sum it up: IF 'he' exists, he exists 'cause man created him

Humans are finite. They must be created and they eventually die. God is infinite. There is no beginning and no end. God always was and was not created. God is omniscient. God knows everything that can be known. Even human geniuses have limits in their abilities.
When we talk about animal life, we talk about entities that have beginnings and endings. Nothing in the human world has always existed, but it is natural for humans to think that everything has a beginning and an ending. This is not true of God, who is not a human animal. That humans could create gods that are superior to their creators is a contradiction in terms. If it can be created, it is no longer a god. In other words, you can't create what created you.

Aesity means self-existence. Aesity explains the metaphysical nature of God as a purely self-existent being that exists in complete actuality. God is not a being that is created by another god; neither does God create himself into existence. Rather, God has always existed as an unchanging, completely actualized being.
God has his Being of himself and to himself such that he is Absolute being and the definition of existence.
Since God’s essence is his nature and God’s existence is the same as his essence it follows that God is existence.

No person can answer that, but if you want an opinion of religion and a little scientific twist to it, i would say that maybe that there was nothing from start but somehow parts of things (such as particles) came up throughout nothingness and somehow pulled together or collided with each other. The being that was created from this nothingness was God, and he came as the first being and the first thing to exist within that nothingness. But of course every being has a mind god created everything we see and know, and dissolved into these things and part of the galaxy, but is still in control of our destinies and of everything that was of his creation that had mind of its own.
So there you have it, my opinion =).

Nobody created God. He was there in the beginning. John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word and the Word was God.

No one can honestly answer your question.
We are tiny little creatures in a huge expanding universe that live for a nanosecond in the great big picture.
It does not matter what God, God has. What matters is what God we have.What we do and how we act in our nanosecond.
WHile we have pondered this Question a child has died because he did not have a simple glass of clean water to drink.

God said before him there was no God and neither shall there be after him. God was, is and always will be.

This is something much too complex for an atheist mind to comprehend BUT God always was.
No I do not expect you to understand that. When I was atheist my mind was not advanced far enough to grasp it either so I understand.
