Not sure I follow the question. "Uncreated?" If God exists, he is eternal and thus was neither created nor "uncreated" - whatever the latter means.
Indeed, I argue that God exists because something o be created must sand outside Creation to create it. Thus, as G. K. Chesterton wrote, “It is absurd for the Evolutionist to complain that it is unthinkable for an admittedly unthinkable God to make everything out of nothing, and then pretend that it is more thinkable that nothing should turn itself into everything.”
The paradox is that the atheist is as extreme in his way as is the religious fanatic. Because the atheist sees evil in the world, he jumps to the conclusion that there must therefore be no God.
This presents two problems. First, if there is nothing but the impersonal forces of nature and the laws of physics, then there is no free will. Every thought, every action is predetermined by the intermix of molecular and physical reactions. Nothing can be other than what it is.
The problem then becomes that your belief that God does not exist is then also a simple biochemical molecular reaction. You came to the only conclusion that your physiological structure predetermined you would.
However, if that is true, then your conclusion is no more valid than the opposite conclusion. It was simply the luck of the draw of your brain's electro-chemical reactions and you end up in an intellectual hall of mirrors.
In that connection, atheism tends to premised on a rejection of the idea of God in the absence of proof of His benevolence. This leaves the atheist effectively rejecting only one vision of God - namely the Judeo-Christian version. In truth, there are other conceptions of God. (For example, the ancient Greeks believed that the gods were arbitrary and capricious.)
The second point is that if everything in the universe must have a beginning, then logically something must stand outside the universe to start the universe itself. Chesterton's point stands and is a reflection of Aquinas' view of God as the first cause of all things.
The funny part is that the atheist argues that the universe is more complex than religion. Yet their own explanation is, itself, an oversimplification. Order does not spontaneously come from chaos without something outside itself to impose order. Similarly, if all things existing must start, then something must exist outside of it to start it.
Yet the atheist's problem remains. That the order of existence came from chaos absent something to give it order. It just happened - with the caveat that we don't know how - but it happened within existence because existence is all there is.
That is a presumption - and a problem - for atheism. If man can be uncreated, what keeps him "created"?

I don’t know personally.
It seems a question beyond my understanding but I’m not Christian, more of a deist like Voltaire.
Is this the main reason you are an atheist Julie?
Did you have any religious upbringing while growing up?
Destroy any and all documentlation mentioning anything to do with religion.
Destroy any arttifact this is connected to religion.
Do not teach every child about religion
When there is nothing left, including memories and thoughts, all gods will cease to exist. Our minds will be cleansed of all religion. Gods only exist in the minds of people.
THE GOSPEL ACCORDING TO “JOHN”
1. In the beginning was the WORD, and the WORD was with GOD, and the WORD was GOD.
2. HE was in the beginning with GOD.
3. All things were made through HIM, and without HIM nothing was made.

how can he be uncreated?
UN-created? He is the alpha and omega, the beginning and the ending, the creator of the universe. He has always existed and always will exist. Those who are with Christ will always exist also with new bodies on the new earth that will not die, but thats another story.who said uncreated? is that in any scripture?
god is infinite time so did not need to be created. always existed in infinite past.
if some source has word, uncreated, it means "creation was unnecessary", not like never born.
even math has the idea the infinite line. and on an xyz graph of time, possible infinite time.
Thomas Aquinas talked about this. God is the prime mover. Thomas Aquinas was a Christian philosopher who drew inspiration from Aristotle. Aristotle also talked about the concept of an endless being that brought all other things into existence hundreds of years before Christianity.
brief summary of the topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unmoved_mover
He would have to had been created to be uncreated.. Which is impossible for a being that has always existed.. He exist without the need for space and time, all things which he created.. So to sort of answer your question he can't be uncreated..
Not a believer but the answer is simple if we follow the belief god can do anything he can simply uncreate himself.
Which would be pretty funny. Come forth thy Universe and now I shalt taketh my leave. Yeets himself out of existence.Literally everything is created by someone. For every creation there has to be a creator and the difference between the two should be strictly distinct. Even the first ever thing to be ever created has had a creator that Is, ALLAH.
God exists outside Time. Anything created has a beginning, and an end.
God created time, space and matter as a trifecta.I thought it was a matter of tricking God into saying Yahweh backwards.
Or for people to be really so incredibly bad he uncreates the universe. That's the bit we are worried about isn't?
There has to be an uncaused cause, otherwise you end up with an infinite regress.
"because he just is, don't test my faith with logic" *plugs ears and runs away yelling: "mimimi can't hear you"*
The Thing is If God is internal Aka forever then He Will always exist.
Here we go again: "If God can do anything, can He create a rock He can't lift?" LOL
the creator is not created, he creates
Don't think of God like a human
Something needing a beginning and or an end is a human concept.
Of course not. How can an omnipotent God be uncreated?
God can't be touched. He will always be glorious and powerful by His very nature.
