If God exists.. who created God?

[Anonymous]

Any idea?

What’s interesting is that mere humans expect to be able to understand every aspect of God. The concept that God was never created and has always existe messes with our minds because we live in time and space and with our finite sense of logic, and therefore the idea that an entity exists outside of our sense of logic and outside of time and space is essentially impossible for us to grasp. Try explaining even basic calculus to an ant (or even

to a 5-year-old child). Just because it makes no sense to them (and is perhaps completely outside of their comprehension capabilities, like with the ant) doesn’t mean it’s not true. I know you didn’t ask for advice, but I’m gonna give some - don’t try to understand it. Cheers!

Lol, that isn't so impossible to understand like an ant understanding calculus. False equivalence fallacy. Space and time is not actually fundamental. There are things that exist independent of it according to various theories and part of this has been confirmed through the study of quantum mechanics. That is something most people actually can't get their heads around but unfortunately gods aren't part of that.

Besides, suppose there is a creator god which exists outside time and space, how did it get there? How does it have a consciousness and a sense of deliberation?

These questions are not answerable because we are discussing a fictional entity. There is no theoretical framework to justify a discussion of such a being because nothing we know of allows for it.

But here's the kicker: IF it is possible for such a complicated thing to simply exist, then it obviates itself. The reason being that it is contingent on the conditions or itself to come into existence or always exist and if those conditions exist, there is simply no reason for a creator god to exist because any manner of complication may exist.

This is something no theologian has ever been able to contend with and why theists will always lose the philosophical debate on the existence of gods.

@OfDeath I didn't expect you to understand. In fact, Biblically, those who claim to not believe in God are INCAPABLE of understanding due to their pride, sin, arrogance, and the resulting spiritual blindness. (See 1 Corinthians chapter 2, 2 Corinthians ch 4, and Romans 1, among others). In other words, all of your "human" logic is irrelevant. God is not limited by our human logic. With due respect, whether you agree or believe that to be true is also irrelevant. I don’t need you to agree or understand, nor does God (just as the mathematician doesn’t need the ant or the 5-year-old to understand or agree with calculus).

Anyways, moving on. Peace.

[OfDeath]

"Biblically" is irrelevant. You can't use the Bible to prove the Bible.

Statements like "God is not limited by our human logic" are empty claims about something not even known to actually exist. Therefore, you cannot state any details about it. That's no different to making up the details of leprechauns. The same goes for stating what god needs. You are simply making empty statements.

You're confused, sunny.

God IS, he doesn't merely "exist".

As "to exist" means to have a "beginning" and "end" within which to "exist". God can have neither, as infinite can have neither - else it's not infinite.

God is their eight year old kid. We are his half-finished science project forgotten to be turned in before the holidays, stuffed into the garden shed, under a tarp, and most likely past all further thought.

This question is what made me start to doubt God's existence in middle school. I ended up becoming an atheist

[FunkyMonkee]

Been asking that for decades!! Let's see, it's impossible for the universe to just appear from nothing, which exploded, but it's VERY possible for some being to appear from nothing to physically create the universe! Okay, got it!!

God's God. :)

God. The idea is that God was self-creating, like a sentient tulpa.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

He couldn't be God if He had a creator.

God is eternal with no beginning nor end reason why He alone is worthy of power, honor and worship forever and ever.

Every effect has a cause. God is the source, not an effect, and is uncaused.

God had alwase existed and nobady create God

[art84]

God didn't create himself.
