Can you tell me what you were doing at this time exactly 2.3 years and 34 minutes ago. No? Well I will tell you why. The human brain is such a poor tool. I tell you most everyone here has some sort of convition but the reality is that they have no clue what they are talking about and can not answer the question I posed. The is more than enough proof for God but as long as ones mind is steeped in ignorance there is no chance of understanding.

Did God have a beginning?

Ps. 90:2: “Before the mountains themselves were born, or you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God.”

Is that reasonable? Our minds cannot fully comprehend it. But that is not a sound reason for rejecting it. Consider examples: (1) Time. No one can point to a certain moment as the beginning of time. And it is a fact that, even though our lives end, time does not. We do not reject the idea of time because there are aspects of it that we do not fully comprehend. Rather, we regulate our lives by it. (2) Space. Astronomers find no beginning or end to space. The farther they probe into the universe, the more there is. They do not reject what the evidence shows; many refer to space as being infinite. The same principle applies to the existence of God.

Other examples: (1) Astronomers tell us that the heat of the sun at its core is 27,000,000 degrees Fahrenheit (15,000,000° C.). Do we reject that idea because we cannot fully comprehend such intense heat? (2) They tell us that the size of our Milky Way is so great that a beam of light traveling at over 186,000 miles per second (300,000 km/sec) would require 100,000 years to cross it. Do our minds really comprehend such a distance? Yet we accept it because scientific evidence supports it.

Which is more reasonable—that the universe is the product of a living, intelligent Creator? or that it must have arisen simply by chance from a nonliving source without intelligent direction? Some persons adopt the latter viewpoint because to believe otherwise would mean that they would have to acknowledge the existence of a Creator whose qualities they cannot fully comprehend. But it is well known that scientists do not fully comprehend the functioning of the genes that are within living cells and that determine how these cells will grow. Nor do they fully understand the functioning of the human brain. Yet, who would deny that these exist? Should we really expect to understand everything about a Person who is so great that he could bring into existence the universe, with all its intricate design and stupendous size?

God is eternal and timeless - uncreated.

As an unembodied mind, God is not a complex physical 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.
Certainly such a mind may have complex ideas—it may be thinking, for example, of the infinitesimal calculus—, but the mind itself is not a complex physical entity.

I'm glad you asked this question. This answer should put the issue to rest:

In the beginning, Possibility…………..

Before there was matter, energy, space and time, there was Possibility. Possibility wasn’t created by anyone. Nobody “put” it there. Possibility was and is the condition, or the state, inside of which The Big Bang and the evolution of the universe emerged and flowed in and out like tides, one lifetime after another inside the context, Possibility.

Everything that exists now or has ever existed, or will someday exist; every thought, creation, imagination, science and art that is, was and forever shall be: all of it is inside of Possibility. Possibility is the context and the substanceless substance of “zero”. It’s what is inside the space of zero and it’s what constitutes all space – physical, emotional, spiritual and mental.

When science studies the laws of the physical universe, it wants to penetrate Possibility. But Possibility isn’t anywhere - and it’s everywhere! All there is is Possibility. Without judgment, without morality, without self-righteousness, Possibility is the condition of life or the state of existence or the “what’s so” and “isness” of who and what we are and what we shall be.

Possibility is the beginning and the end, the alpha and omega, the first and the last. It’s the “inside-of-which” that time appears as measurement and life appears to mean something, like a seeming. Possibility is distinguished as manifestations and as ways of being, as life energy and intelligence. It’s distinguished in physical form with measurable results. We can’t see or touch Possibility, but we can experience it. We can’t locate it, but we can be present to it whenever we choose. Possibility itself is everywhere/nowhere at the same time in every direction and in no direction in and outside of comprehension. Even the illusive fabric of the mind is all Possibility.

Possibility is beyond distinction: It has no location, no physical properties, no energy, no language, no purpose, no goal and no morality. Possibility is the ultimate unity of this universe, the “suchness” of the much sought after Unified Field Theory.

The important thing to know is that Possibility can be and is being generated, created and manifested in this world by extraordinary ordinary human beings. Consciously, deliberately and responsibly we are transforming life itself. Creating Possibility out of itself, out of its own “nothingness”, out of its own presence and power: this IS the transformation of life itself!

The transformation of life itself is not something we wait for and look for to happen in the future someday. Transformation of life itself occurs now, at this moment, as we create, generate and launch Possibility into life to manifest and to become, to be and to do as in a state of supreme beingness, as if it’s magick. Possibility has no genesis, no origin. In this universe, it’s the tao and the way, the life and death of all things great and small.

Nobody made God - there's no such being.

But there are to my mind far greater reasons for saying that than the mystery of his alleged arrival. If this figment could create an 11-dimensional universe and see all time, existing forever should be easy.

He's clearly not there because nothing in the universe requires him in order to be as it is.

we always think about an beginning and end, because we don't know anything else.

It is said god is eternal - it means he was always there. He had no beginning and no end.

A place without time It is hard to imagine.

In the bible, it gives ref. to the fact that God "spoke Himself" into exhistance...just as everything else. therefore, He always had to be in order to do this also....

God is that which is. He existed, exists, will exist. He is uncaused. There must "be" something before there can "be" anything. God is that something.

It's not that he was "before" everything; he was "before" time itself, so the idea of "before" doesn't really make sense.

I think . . . therefore I AM.

That's what comes to mind. But there are better answers than this already.
