If God created everything and everyone who created God?

Answer 1

God was and always will be. God was not created. he is eternal he has not beginning and no end. Because, we we're all created it is difficult to comprehend not being created.

If you're wanting to know traditional ideas of the origin of God, he always existed. He didn't have to create himself because he is eternal, and there was no "beginning" to his existence. He always has been alive and never needed creation. I think that is the belief held by most monotheistic religions today: Islam, Christianity, and Judaism.

God would already have to exist to create himself. Otherwise, he would have to have been born out of nothing. You should look up theory about 'ex nihilo' which means that everything's existence has to have a cause. The arguments are a bit complicated, but are more in line with what you're thinking.

Another answer To say God 'always existed' implies God has no beginning or end but is still subject to time as we know it. Scripture, tradition and reason hold that God is actually eternal not everlasting. Eternal means 'outside time' and so for God time is irrelevant. This explains a great deal about God; for example, he can answer prayer no matter how many people pray to him (as there is no 'inbox' building up); it explains his omnipresence, his ability to perform miracles (no laws of cause and effect) and so on.

However, God can also interact with us within time - as we pray to him and in his revelation of himself to us in scripture, nature, and, of course, Jesus Christ.

This is not as far-fetched as it sounds. Light, for example, travels, as its name implies, at the speed of light. But Einstein showed that as something travels faster and faster time slows down so that at the speed of light time actually stops.So, for a light ray, time is irrelevant. Light is eternal. However, light can, and does, interact with us, in time, on our retinas, a photographic film or in photosynthesis in a leaf. Moreover, cosmologists will also tell you that at the Big Bang of Creation, time as well as space had to be created, as time did not exist before the singularity of the Big Bang.

Creation as we would understand it means that something is made over a period of time. But God is eternal. Therefore, as God is eternal, there is no necessity for him to be created as he is, was and always will be, outside the constraints of time as we would know it.

Another answer:

Nobody knows.

This is the subject of much philosophical discussion and there is no easy answer.

Another answer:

That is, in fact, one of God's defining factors. He is the uncreated and eternal Creator. To look for a cause of God is to look for something greater than God, and therefore to completely misunderstand His nature.

This is the creation. God is the Creator. He created the universe that we know and other creations that still we don't know. He, as the Creator, is not created. He is the first before anything and the last after end of everything.

Islamic answer:

Quran says (meaning English translation):

"I did not make them witnesses of the creation of the heavens and the earth, nor of the creation of their own souls; nor could I take those who lead (others) astray for aiders. (51)"

[Quran, chapter 18, verse 51]

Quran also says:

" What! do they not consider how Allah (God) originates the creation, then reproduces it? Surely that is easy to Allah (God). (19) Say: Travel in the earth and see how He makes the first creation, then Allah (God) creates the latter creation; surely Allah (God) has power over all things. (20)"

[Quran, chapter 29, verses 19-20]

and says:

" Surely your Lord is the Creator of all things, the Knowing. (86)"

[Quran, chapter 15, verse 86]

Answer 2

It is a fallacy of logic to appeal to the "everything must have a creator" argument in trying to explain the existence of God. Everything created needed a creator, but God is not in that category.The mistaken logic is seen in the Question posted at the top of the page.
Rather, you can show God's existence by pointing to the bottomless, infinite wisdom which we see in the Creation.
True, some people are brainwashed or willingly blind to this wisdom and are not moved even when you point it out in detail, but all you can do is your best. Talk to your children and to anyone who doesn't have preconceived notions.See also:
