Who created God?

Question

Who created God? Can he just be? If he can just be, why can't the universe just be?

Answer 1

no one created God, he was here before time itself... in other words God has no begin or no end.

the universe can't just be, because it's not God, you see

Answer 2

You are so close to enlightenment, you are heading in the right direction.

If there is a creator, who created the creator for that implies that all things must be created in order to exist? Very good question, but the answer is all around you and inside of you.

All there is is NOW and God is all things. Everything just is in the constant now of existence. God isn't a man in the heavens, God is the great "I am." The shadow and the light create form, the yin and yang, the universe is one and can be viewed as a microcosm.

I really would love to recommend that you read Cosmic Consciousness by Bucke and The Book by Alan Watts. Read up on different philosophies and religions. Zen, Hindu, and even the Christian Bible are very interesting. You can see God in everything around you and even in the texts you read. Alan Watts is a must for you to read or listen to. You can easily find audio on the internet, I recommend OM.

God and everything else wasn't created. Everything is one with God and so just is. God is the essence of all things, God is existence. These are just descriptions, God is beyond that. There is a limit to language and humans think in a linear fashion. Descriptions fail when trying to fully explain God.

I will leave you with a quote from a well known comedian named Bill Hicks...
"A young man on acid today realized that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing ourselves subjectively. That there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves. Here's Tom with the weather."

Answer 3

This is like asking, "What does blue smell like?" Blue is not in the category of things that have odor, so the question itself is flawed. In the same way, God is not in the category of things that are created, or come into existence, or are caused. God is uncaused and uncreated - He simply exists.



How do we know this? Well, we know that from nothing, nothing comes. So if there was ever a time when there was absolutely nothing in existence then nothing would have ever come to exist. But things do exist. Therefore, since there could never have been absolutely nothing, something had to have always been existing. That ever-existing thing is what we call God.

No one created God. God is eternal that means he has no begining or end. Impossiable in the universe we live in, yes. You see in this universe we have the dimension of time, so everything has a begining and an end. This is how God created this universe, God created time. However God is not part of this universe but seperate from it since he is the creator. If I create a sand castle on the beach, I am not part of the sand castle. The creator and creation is seperate. Then how do I know the universe is not eternal? Well if the universe was eternal, then everything within the universe would hold this concept, obviously we know this is not true because we know things begin and end. For if the universe was eternal then the dimension of time does not exsist. Time does not exsist with God, he is the first and the last and no one created Him.

Answer 4

All watches have a watchmaker. Intelligence is needed to make this delicate balance of physical laws within the universe. Even more complicated is the human body. Something had to have been there from the beginning. If the naturtal universe was all there was, we have to assume that the randomness of the universe had enough intelligence to make life from non-life. Something we as yet are incapable of doing with our very directed and best inteligence. If there is a God that transcends the physical universe, he can be the intelligent designer that made everything. I guess I just do not think "nature" is that smart, thus I think God did it. There are far more reasons but require pages, not paragraphs. (Cosmological argument, teleological argument, moral argument, 2nd law of thermodynamics etc.) You may wish to look at www.answersingenesis.org or www.gotquestions.org. Also there is a good book entitled I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH FAITH TO BE AN ATHEIST by Norman Geisler and Frank Turek that covers these issues very well.

Answer 5

The religious answer is that God has always existed.

The logical answer is that Humans created God in an effort to explain the unexplainable. The best example of this practice is with Greek and Roman Mythology.

Answer 6

That's the most complex question one could ask and if I tried to answer it my head might explode. But my own logic tells me that God always was. So God created himself. I don't have any proof of that. It's just what I believe.

Answer 7

Try not to think about God as an entity, but rather an idea. This idea is one that has been used to lead an individual to an experience beyond anything that can be said about it. This experience, has been described as "cosmic consciousness." Though the idea of God was created, the experience it can lead to is eternal and always is, its the essence of being. The destinction is that what is refered to as God is not "a being," rather it is being. I think that if you think about it, this answers your questions.

Answer 8

No one created ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala). ALLAH(Subhanna wa ta'ala) has been here since the beginning of time and will be here for all eternity even after Al Baseer has destroyed the world and universe on the Day of Resurrection. Anything that Al Rhaman says to it "BE" and it becomes what Al raheem says.

Answer 9

Which god? The Vikings created Thor and the Greeks created Zeus. Humans created them all.

Answer 10

Assuming God exists, he is the creator of all, including time, and thus he has then existed since forever, before the start of time, and so on. He is just there. No beginning or end.

Answer 11

Chuck Norris. He created God in his image.
