If God created everything who created God?

[SaintMalachi]

This is something I have been wondering for a very long time(since I was nine). What are your thoughts on this? Could someone have created God? I don't think the bible ever states his origins so what is your theory on why God never talks about his origins?

 

[McBell]

You might want to state what you mean by the word "god".

There are some who believe that the "God" or "Gods" known throughout humanity have in fact been created by a much higher intelligence.

There are some who believe that the "God" or "Gods" known throughout humanity have in fact been created by a much higher intelligence.

So who created the much higher intelligence that created god?

 

[Father Heathen]

Humans eventually evolve into a single omnimax entity that travels back in time to create everything, and thus it's a continuous loop.

Himself.

EDIT: ...or what FH said.

Turtles, turtles, turtles! TURTLES all the way down.

Could someone have created God?

Everyone who believes in God (myself included) has individually and collectively created God

So who created the much higher intelligence that created god?

Maybe there is a continuum of higher knowledge, or maybe time itself is the higher being, after all there is no end, only change.

Now only if we could create a god that actually pulls its weight.

Turtles, turtles, turtles! TURTLES all the way down.

Except, of course, for the elephants.

 

[PolyHedral]

The turtles are under the elephants.

Oh yeah! (To PolyHedral, too.) Forgot about them.

Could someone have created God?

for me it is obvious that ancient hebrews created god. He mirrors exactly their ancient culture to a T. imagine that!!!!!

man has been inventing gods and spirits since the beginning of his existance. I see why out of a thousand gods before this abrahamic god, this one suddenly is real.

 

[horizon_mj1]

How does everyone else think of forever under creations kindoms?

 

[Rainbow Mage]

God creating anything is not really very well supported by observation and facts, so I don't really believe God created. As for, who created God, for me it's more "what". The universe did, if we must call it "creating". Gods were born out of the earliest universe, the big bang at it's earliest stage. The Egyptians called this the Nu, and the gods were born from it.

 

[Tathagata]

God is by definition, non-contingent and uncaused. It is simply an absurd question that ignores God's characteristics.

That's like asking "what is the circumference of a square?" Absurd, squares don't have circumferences nor does God have a cause.

Ya know, I'm sorry; but I hate religion... but not just because I'm a hater, but because of questions like these. Cause I get, you know... compassionate and understanding (yikes! but it happens to the best of us) and I get to thinking... why has this seeker been left in the woods?

How many ways are there to answer this question?

Here's a lob: in the beginning, god created the heavens and the earth; so what can be seen? That the definition of beginning is when god created; no beginning, no creation... simple.

How about, if god created everything; then god created god? Sure, there's some advanced theology that contradicts such consideration; but if I'm a compassionate teacher gonna embellish so that a student can get into the basic and even have a theology, are you gonna tell me I'm wrong? Thing about the Bible, I AM never wrong; get it?

OK... there's my bias. That I hear the words of the literalists, that I remember all the unanswered questions of my childhood, that I used to think it could be beautiful... and all I ever heard, was chapter and verse; or sin, or Satan. Yeah, I didn't get no religion; what I got, was fear...

What I got now, imagery in my head; of grumpy old me, a nine-year-old girl of curious faith, and a Bible... Man, they God in da house!

There's your act of creation...

So, no. Nobody created god, for a seeker still lost after all this time...

If.......

is a mighty big question!

g_d is a man made construct.

where did Life come from? no one can say for definite, but we can have fun discussing it no matter how absurd it may appear to some people!

its a biggy!

If...........
