Matter always existed in some form.
There is no such thing as nothingness.
We have tangible evidence for matter, and no reason to believe it isn't infinite in nature, where as we have nothing for God.

In the material universe the various chains of cause and effect are quite apparent. An egg exists because a chicken laid it. The chicken that laid it exists because another chicken laid a fertilized egg that hatched out the chicken. If we were able to perceive the entirety of the past, we could follow the chain of chickens and eggs all the way back until we arrived at the very first chicken (or egg, depending on how you answer the classical question). Creationists like myself then run directly into the question of how the first chicken came to be. Organic evolutionists take a while longer to reach this question, veering off to follow the chain until they reach the first living organism. Material evolutionists take even longer to reach the wall, for they have to try to figure out the chain that led from the first particle of matter to the first living organism, despite how statistically unlikely the existence of such a chain may be. But we all end up at the wall - the creationist with the chicken, the evolutionist with the first life form, the materialist with the first particle of matter. The question at this point is the same - where did this "thing" come from? How did we go from nothingness to somethingness? The rational answer is that there must be an uncreated creator. There must be something in the universe that simply exists, and has the power to bring something else into existence. It is very difficult, if not impossible, for us to conceive of something that exists but wasn't created, because we ourselves were created and most of the things around us were created, either by human intelligence or by the workings of nature. So the first problem we have with an uncreated object is that we have no experience of such a thing. The second problem we have is our understanding of time. Time is essentially the awareness of change in the universe. But before the universe existed there was nothing that changed, therefore there was no time. Yet "creation" is a change, which means that time itself is created with the first creation. So we are left trying to understand an uncreated creator that existed before time began. Here again human intellect fails us, because we cannot use the word "before" to describe a reality without time, since "before" is a temporal expression. Whatever the uncreated creator is, it exists outside of time. It simply is. There is no before, after, or during when discussing something uncreated. It is existence itself. It permeats the entire universe, both outside and inside of time. If time, that is "change", ceased, it would still exist. This is why to ask who created God is to try to place God inside our temporal universe, as if he is subject to the laws of time and space. No, the creator is as far beyond us as we are beyond the world of a flea. We can see the wall at the end of the cause and effect chain, but we have great difficulty seeing over it.

The label "God" goes to the ultimate source of even cause itself. Such a source can have no cause and therefore resides outside of the contraints of the known universe.

God is a timeless and unchangeable being, therefore He has always existed. The constant or variable of time does not exist in the spiritual realm.

God is the Alpha & the Omega, He Is The Beginning & Ending...
It's that simple, you will never understand, We will never Understand for our Minds are too Small to Understand Any Of This.

And if the universe was created with the Big Bang, what happened 2 minutes before the big bang?

One idea of the translation of the most popular "name" given (by) God [JHVH] is "The One Who Caused Himself To Exist."

God is the Supreme Being. We exist and only know in terms of time. God is timeless, hence has always been.
