You mean to ask, "Where did God come from?"
If you put that question into Google you will get many answers including what 'Lion of Judah' has. If there is some part of that which you do not understand, I can elaborate.
This question however is an attempt to evade the obvious, that the universe was created. Under no other circumstances would any rational person assume that something complex has no designer. Do you assume that Stone Henge was not built? Or the Pyramids of Egypt? Or your automobile? No, of course not! Why then would you assume that a living cell, exponentially more complex than any of these other things would not have a designer? Would you have to know where the engineer who designed your car was born in order to believe that your car was designed by someone?
The origin of the builders of those things would come into question at some point but have no bearing on their existence, just their origin, if any. Otherwise, you must assume that the things that are always were and then you still have a problem because by cause and effect the question of origin echoes into infinite absurdity.

God is meant to be like a circle. He has no initiating and no end. So he in no way unexpectedly known at some mounted think approximately time in a poof of smoke. sure, the theologians say that people can't conceive of a being that's eternal and has consistently existed devoid of desiring to be created or born. He gets to rule all of introduction, by using fact he's the source of introduction. i think of your difficulty is which you're thinking of God as a being like a human with superpowers, quite than an eternal divine stress.

We can only partially comprehend the notion of God's existence. To do so, we must use human concepts to speak of God: "without beginning or end"; "eternal"; "infinite", etc. The Bible says that He has always existed: " . . . even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Psalm 90:2). And, "Your throne is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting" (Psalm 93:2). Quite simply, God has no beginning and no end. So, where did God come from? He didn't. He always was.
To us, the notion of time is linear. One second follows the next, one minute is after another. We get older, not younger and we cannot repeat the minutes that have passed us by. We have all seen the time lines on charts: early time is on the left and later time is on the right. We see nations, people's lives, and plans mapped out on straight lines from left to right. We see a beginning and an end. But God is "beyond the chart." He has no beginning or end. He simply has always been.
Also, physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter. Time exists when matter exists. Time has even been called the fourth dimension. But God is not matter. In fact, God created matter. He created the universe. So, time began when God created the universe. Before that, God was simply existing and time had no meaning (except conceptually), no relation to Him. Therefore, to ask where God came from is to ask a question that cannot really be applied to God in the first place. Because time has no meaning with God in relation to who He is, eternity is also not something that can be absolutely related to God. God is even beyond eternity.
Eternity is a term that we finite creatures use to express the concept of something that has no end -- and/or no beginning. Since God has no beginning or end, He has no beginning. This is because He is outside of time.

For Magley64...AM, ID is creationism. In the trial it was proved that they took creationism and replaced the name with ID. There was an excellent program on PBS Tuesday night about it. The scientist convinced the religious Judge that ID is Creationism and that Evolution is correct. They provided the missing link and many other things that gives more support to to evolution. It is only IDIOTS and the MENTALLY SICK that will not accept evolution.

No man knows even angels, where God started because He has no origin. He is eternal.
Psalms 90:2 Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God.

God has always existed.
And so He will, eternally. Forever.
Because God was "intelligently" designed in the minds of fools.
Thats where he started- thats where He will stay.
and as there are always fools,
there will always be God and Faith in Him.

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

Nothing got created.
The Universe has always been there.
It is all of time and space.
The very idea of "God" is redundant.... as, much as you suggest, to even imply for any reason that the Universe must have been created NECESSARILY implies that the creator OF the Universe must also have been created on the same basis.

God did not have a "start". He has existed from before time began as His creative act began time.
Hope that helps.
