What existed before God?

Answer 1

== == * According to The Bible God has always existed, thus, by inference, there never was a time when something existed before God. Psalm 90 v 2 says:

'Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting you are God.'

* The Dinosaurs and other prehistoric creatures existed before civilized Man created God in his own image and temperament. I heard there was an almighty organism, created from cosmic gasses and other stuff, that wanted to gain controll of the world over another one, who did later died.

Answer 2

God is, has always been, and will always be, for he is the "I Am." Answer

Since God is the creator of all things, before creation there was only God.

Answer

Before God and Creation were invented, there were thousands of other gods, beliefs and religions.

ANSWER

Before God there were no "other gods,beliefs and religions" there was Just God and creation by the way creation and GOd was not invented God is the alpha and the omega the begining and the end.

Answer in Genesis 1 verse 26

26 Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, [a] and over all the creatures that move along the ground."

The keywords are "Let us and our". This proves God was not alone in existence, there were others in His court.

Answer 3

Prior to our universal reality within a fourth dimensional existence, the instance of universe is modeled within the creation event called the Big Bang. The pre-Big Bang is a theory, in which all the essence of our universe was previously defined within a singularity, is really an extreme condition of our fourth dimensional reality in SpaceTime providing for a temporal confinement in the unification of all the primary forces of the physics (i.e., gravitational, electromagnetic, strong and weak); the Big Bang is not a true one dimensional perspective of SpaceTime. Therefore, it can be assumed that the actual instance of creation preceded the Big Bang creation event in an unfolding evolution of dimensional realities of SpaceTime.

Stephen Hawking has addressed this peculiar connection between time and the Big Bang. In 'A Brief History of Time' and elsewhere, Hawking says that even if time did not begin with the Big Bang and there were another time frame before the Big Bang, then no information from these events then would be accessible to us; i.e., nothing that happened pre-Big Bang would actually have any effect upon the present time-frame. Upon occasion, Hawking has stated that time actually began with the Big Bang, and that questions about what happened before the Big Bang are meaningless.

Alternative Opinion: While the Big Bang introduced the dimensional reality of existence into the void/abyss of non-existence, the expectation is that the outer space of our universe will continue to be expanded within this infinite void/abyss. In this perspective, existence is the intrusion of a fourth dimensional convergence of Space and Time within the infinity of non-existence (or nothingness). Some say this nothingness is representative of dark energy, in which case it would be something. Then we would need to rethink our model of cosmology to allow for nothingness to precede even this medium of dark energy.

Answer 4

There are 2 biblical sources of information on the creation of the world in Genesis.

• In Genesis 1:1 to 2:4a ( up to first sentence of 2:4) there was a pre-existing watery chaos. The ocean was already present and a wind moved across the surface. The seas rested on the dry land, which appeared on day 3 when God gathered the waters together.
• Genesis 2:4b to 2:15 is actually the older account in the Judaic religion and says that there was pre-existing dry land, but Yahweh had yet to make it rain for plants to grow. A spring arose and God took some moist clay and made Adam. In both creation stories, the basics were already there - the waters, the dry land, the wind and therefore the air. Many experts in Hebrew have carefully examined the texts and confirm that this is what they say. The biblical creations were not ex nihilo.
  

Of course, science now gives us an alternative explanation for the origins of the world, which does not require a Creator, but still leaves open the option to believe in God. For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
