If everything has a cause and God caused everything then what caused God?

Answer 1

A

The current scientific theory for the beginning of our universe is called the Wave Function of the Universe, a theory developed by Stephen Hawking, Andre Vilenkin, Alex Linde and others. It says that it is 95 percent probable that a universe with our characteristics came into existence without a cause.

The theory is confirmed by observational evidence. It exactly predicted what the COBE satellite discovered about the irregularities of the background radiation in the universe.

Hawking supposes that there is a timeless space, a four-dimensional hypersphere, near the beginning of the universe. It is smaller than 10-33 centimetres in radius. Since it was timeless, it no more needed a cause than the timeless god of theism.

Contemporary scientific cosmology is not only not supported by any theistic theory, it is actually logically inconsistent with theism.

It has also been pointed out that a God capable of creating the universe would be more complex than the universe. Therefore a creator God would be more improbable than a universe without a God.

B (Hint)

The perfectness of our creation and the whole universe's creation leads to the conclusion that our universe obeys constant laws, and not hazardous nor without a cause:

the sun rises every day, obeying constant laws, we never woke up one day and didn't find it there, or found it rising in night time, same as moon. Water on earth is constant, has a definite cycle, which we know well, it never deviated from that..

a hazardous being can't be so tidy, it is for sure missy.

If things come out of nothing, then why dont we find an extremely new creature or event coming out of nothing in our present days?

All events around us lead to the one conclusion that this universe has a ruler, created it and established its laws.

A divine being having such properties, is surely beyond our imagination or perception, and the laws He created, surely don't apply to him.

same as the fact that things we make or invent with own hands apply laws that are not applicable to us..

CThe question s itself. It is true that every thing has a cause. However, when reach the thing that has no cause then this last thing is created and the creator is God. God created the causes for every thing in the universe but He , as the creator, not caused by anything else. For example, Electricity is caused by electric generator rotation. The rotation is caused by steam turbine movement. Steam is caused by water heating. Heating is caused by, e.g., nuclear fission of uranium fuel, uranium fuel is caused by fabricating uranium. Uranium is caused by extraction from earth. Earth is caused by the splitting of the universe into heavens, earth, stars, etc. The universe is caused by what...etc.. until the last source that was created by God the Creator who was not caused by anything. However, A, explains a theory that assumes no cause for universe creation. This theory, whatever its arguments, is still theory that uses probability for its correctness and has no physical proof.

Another proof for the existence of God the Creator. This is the scientific miracles in Quran, holy book of Islam religion. It is meant by the scientific miracles of Quran that Quran included lots of scientific statements that was only proved by the current state of art of science and information. These statements are considered as scientific miracles because of their revelation in the seventh century (Quran revelation started in year 610 AD) while those statements were possible to be validated only with the current state-of-art of knowledge, science and discoveries. If God, the Creator, is not existing how prophet Muhammad can get these scientific statements that mentioned in Quran and dealing with the origin of the universe, seas and rivers, deep seas and internal waves, clouds, mountains, embryonic developments, earth spherical shape, ...etc..

Simply put... no.

God is the First and ONLY God.

YHWH (Yahweh), the true God, HAD no beginning...he always was "...from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" Psalms 90:2KJV

Equivalent to asking who was around before God. God is generally regarded as being "timeless" or "outside time" so discussion of this topic is a bit sophist. Remember, nobody understands "time" (eg what happened before the "big-bang?") so everyone is out of their depth on this one whether they admit it or not. Who, by thinking, can search out God?

One of the un able paradoxes of creation stories is that, while they attempt to the question of how the world was created, they raise the even more intriguing question of who made the creator. As a settled matter of philosophy, any creator capable of making the world must be even more complex than the world itself, and therefore even more improbable.

= = The question of "God" is not a religious question, but a philosophical one, although few abstract it from religion. The philosophical definition of God is an uncreated being. Put metaphysically, God is. He is actually pure simplicity having no parts, not being subject to time or space, unchangeable. What this means is that anything that would be, in fact, God would have to have always existed.

Metaphysics - i.e. "beyond the physics" - dictates that God's essence is His existence. This is a difficult concept to grasp since people think and exist in time. Creation implies a succession of events, linear thinking. Rather, the metaphysical existence of God is devoid of such complexity - God is a moment, and everything created is present to Him in that moment, like a wheel surrounding a hub - every spoke, every point on that wheel is immediately evident to the hub which holds it all together.

If God was created, it would imply He is subject to succession and thus his essence would not be to exist - it would mean He was not God in the philosophical sense but merely a spiritual manifestation participating in the existence and creative influence of another being. The act of existing is evidence enough - existence is not proper to any created being, hence vertical causality, that is, what allows anything to exist in this present moment, points back to a being to whom existence is proper and who can share that property with beings it decides to create, i.e. bring into existence.

God was created by his God who was created by his God (ect...) have you ever heard of eternity? wrong ^ in my opinion god doesn't exsist.. but however... most religious people say that he was just there... noone created god.. but hence i am not religious therefore it is just nonsense (:

Only the first God could cause GodLol!

He was of such Genius that only He could cause Himself! ... that is, as a physical power Omnipotent - all Glory in Heaven and in earth, only He could bring about His own perfect physical, glorious existence and presence. We have relied on Gods from the beginning - from one God to the next - eternal progression of the Gods, from one eternal round unto the next, and so forth - God upon God - Forever.

However, as Intelligences, we have ALL always existed, even the Gods. They then literally, gave birth to one another in the spiritual sense. In the physical sense, each God before us was born of literal 'earthly', parents, just as we - in each case

the first man was formed just as Adam - from the dust of the earth: each earth bore a Saviour, and each propective God passed from the 'oh-so-humble state of mortality, challenge and trial to the perfect state of Glory, Immortality and Victory.

Nobody, Nothing,

He states, in The Bible, He has always "been",

That he is alpha and omega, Which means the beginning and the end,

If you are confused of the , he states, That our simple mind could not, "comprehend it"

Answer 3

The question is based upon a fallacy of logic. Everything that was caused had a cause. God is not on that list. He is above time and space, and it was He who set causes (physical laws and processes) in motion.
