Who created God- Did He just appear spontaneously ?

I answered another similar question today with this:\n\nTime is a property of this universe only - this is not only a belief of Christian cosmology, it is also the standard belief of modern scientific cosmology, the way Stephen Hawking modeled it in "A Brief History of Time." Time is quite specific to our universe. Time has no meaning or applicability outside of the universe.\n\nSince God, from "outside" or "above" our universe, is a non-temporal being - totally outside time and all its concepts - temporal concepts such as "beginning", "created" or "origins" are utterly inapplicable. They quite literally have no meaning where God is concerned. God's today is also his yesterday, which is also his tomorrow. He does not originate because origination only means something in the context of time. It may be difficult for beings such as ourselves to understand existing outside of time, because we are stuck in it. But the limits of our imagination are a problem for our comprehension, and not a problem for God's existence.\n\nAs St. Augustine said:\n\n'Nor do you precede any given period of time by another period of time, or you would not precede all periods of time. In the eminence of your ever-present eternity, you precede all times past, and extend beyond all future times, for they are still to come--and when they have come, they will be past. But "you are always the same and your years shall have no end." Your years neither go nor come; but ours both go and come in order that all separate moments may come to pass. All your years stand together as one, since they are abiding. Nor do your years past exclude the years to come because your years do not pass away. All these years of ours shall be with you, when all of them have ceased to be. Your years are but a day, and your day is not recurrent, but always today. Your "today" does not yield to tomorrow and does not follow yesterday. Your "today" is eternity. '

Nobody created God. God is eternal without beginning or end. Do I understand this, no. \n\nThe only thing we know is that God aquired wisdom in eternity past. \n\nWISDOM SPEAKING\nPro 8:23  I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was. \nPro 8:24  When there were no depths, I was brought forth; when there were no fountains abounding with water. \nPro 8:25  Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth: \nPro 8:26  While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world. \nPro 8:27  When he prepared the heavens, I was there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth: \nPro 8:28  When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep: \nPro 8:29  When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth: \nPro 8:30  Then I was by him, as one brought up with him: and I was daily his delight, rejoicing always before him; \nPro 8:31  Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were with the sons of men.

Neither, because who or what created God? Find a logical way of explaining what came before God, and you will move away from logic and into faith, right?\n\nWhat came before God?

God is the Creator and we where created by Him. \n\nHe always was, is and will be!\n\nHe's the Begining and the End, the First and the Last, and the Forever....

Before God created the physical universe--none existed.  Only the Spiritual world--a different level of existence.  God has always existed and always will.  That is beyond our ability to truly comprehend.   However, if He could be so easily understood He would not be God.\n\nWhen people try to bring God down to a human level and put Him on par with the physical universe, you wind up with stupid cults like the Mormons.

"Everything that has a beginning has to have a cause." \nWhy do you say this?  As you should know, absolute statements are frequently wrong.  Still, I can roll with this.  Okay, for the moment I'll play along and say that everything must have a beginning.\n\n"Only God is self-existing without beginning, without a cause outside Himself." \nWhat?!?!?!?  What about your statement above?  Can't you see that you totally contradict yourself?  You have just violated logic and trashed your own argument.  Sigh.  If everything needs a beginning, then so does a creator.  If you make an exception for a creator, then you could also make an exception for the universe.\n\nWhere is your evidence for either of these two statements?  Where is your evidence for a creator without beginning?  I think you are trying to avoid falling into the "Who created the creator" question, but skirting the question does not eliminate it.\n\nOccam's Razor:  which is the simpler theory?  A universe without beginning or a creator without beginning that created a universe?\n\nI hesitated answering this question because I felt that you merely asked it to find someone who agreed with you, and that you would choose that as the "best answer".  I didn't want to screw up my best answer ratio... but thought it more important to show you the flaws in your logic.\n\nGood luck in your Q&A's.

earth is obviously created "naturally", in my opinion, there is no such thing as god, rather, earth was created coincidentally.\n\nwhen the solar system is formed, little bits of the sun is trapped by its own gravity, because they were fluid, they formed spheres, this explains why planets are round and not triangular. earth was one of them, it was once small and in habitable, it is only by chance an asteroid nearly the size of earth than collided and fused with earth, readjusting its orbit, size and atmosphere, this also provided the optimal conditions for simple organisms to form out of chemical reactions between chemicals found in the sea together with other natural phenomena like lightnings.\n\ngod had no hand in this, rather, god was created by man

And God said, Let (US) make man in (OUR) image, after our likeness\nNo that means that there are thee person present at the creation.\nGod the Father, Jesus Christ, the Holy Spirit.\nIt was God alone that created man.\n\n\nhttp://www.biblebelievers.com/SimpleSalvation.html

No one, for he has always existed, which is difficult for us to comprehend.\nPsalms 90:2--"Before the mountains themselves were born,\nOr you proceeded to bring forth as with labor pains the earth and the productive land, Even from time indefinite to time indefinite you are God."\nMany people believe that all creation happened due to chance or evolution. Let them consider these facts about our marvelous earthly home and then see if they still have doubts about a Creator:\nThe earth is placed at just the right distance from the sun, its source of energy in the form of light and heat.\nIt moves around the sun at just the right speed, and rotates on its axis every 24 hours, and has just the correct angle of tilt.\nIt has a protective, life-sustaining atmosphere with just the right mixture of gases.\nIt provides the water and soil needed to grow food.\nIt provides a variety of delicious and colorful fruits, vegetables and other foods.\nWe also are able to enjoy the beauty that exists in the sky such as rainbows, the stars and a moonlit night.\nWe enjoy the mountains, the streams and lakes, the varieties of beautiful fragrant flowers, plants and trees and so many other delightful living things.\nWhen I consider all these things and how I am able to see in living color and can taste all the foods the earth provides, then yes---God is real and all things were created by intelligent design.

Or another way to ask your question, what CAUSED God?  Only things that have a beginning require a cause to get started.  Seeing God had no beginning, he did not require anything to cause Him to be.  I think He said it best when He said, "I am".

god created the universe and god created himself.

common sense.  if you can tell me how or when God was created then I'll reconsider religon.  As for now, scientists can tell me when the universe was created (6.5 Billion years ago) and how it was created (Big Bang).

To answer the second question first: to truly BE God, He cannot have been created. He MUST be eternal, without beginning, without end.\n\nWhy do I believe in Him?\n\nA) Read St. Thomas Aquinas arguments (ontological, teleological, etc.) for the existence of God. You will find them in the first volume of his Summa Theologica.\n\nB) I am a degreed theologian, a degreed anthropologist, and a degreed geologist (admittedly only a Masters in geology).\n\nC) The ONLY alternate explanation to creation by God is random chance and mathmatically random chance is insufficient to explain the phenomenon of random chance. If it cannot even explain itself how can it possibly explain creation? Not logical.\n\nD) From personal observation I have witnessed people and events profoundly altered by faith in ways that modern science cannot even begin to explain. Though I do NOT take these as prima facie evidence of the existence of God, I DO accept them as superior evidence of what kind of Deity He IS.\n\nE) As a theologian and a scientifically trained individual I am more aware then most of HOW the universe, and man, really works. I understand the "problem" of good and evil. For me, there is no problem.\n\nF) Scripture says that God has written His law upon our hearts. Perhaps our cultural choices reflect that. We DO tend to prefer a society that operates under the law, rather than an anarchic approach to communal life.\n\nG) My body and brain chemistry being the fount of emotions present no problem to faith either. When you're dealing with a being both material and spiritual there of necessity MUST be a way to link the two disparate elements. Perhaps enzymes, pheromones, and chemical components are the means by which God accomplishes this delicate task.\n\nH) In the end, though, it is faith that rules. Knowledge can take one only so far, and if you use it for your journey you will find that the more you know about creation at all levels and in every aspect of its being, the closer you can come to God. But it is ultimately a "leap of faith" that will carry you into His Presence. And then only if you really want to go there.  I went. I liked. I stay.

Maybe He has always just existed, or perhaps He originated from nowhere. Today, many quantum phenomenon involve particles appearing literally out of nowhere, and we take this as fact.  So, although contrary to common sense, it is not out of the question.

God is the creator of all things seen and unseen.

man made him superior. man invented him. man has been inventing god through out history, since the dawn of time. Why? to explain what science can't explain. research history.. in Benjamin Franklins time, people belived that God was punishing you when lightning struck your house. Now we can explain why that would happen with science. See the trend? We can't yet explain much about the universe...so plug a god in to fill in that gap.

No it wasnt created accidentally. god created it and every thing in it , living and nonliving.
