Who Created God? by NaijaTechnician(m): 3:26pm On Jun 21, 2018
Many arguments claming to prove the existence of God have been proposed throughout the centuries. The response to many of these arguments, however, is: "If God created the world, what created God?"

God is the uncreated creator. He is unexplainable.

The question who created God? can only be asked by those who claimed to be more intelligent than religious people but can't reason well.

There are words that can't be applied to some certain things.

Look at the history of man and technology. During the stone age, no one can use the word TECHNOLOGY simply because what the word TECHNOLOGY can be applied to wasn't around.

Likewise, we human do use some terms which are results of our intellectual i.e PRODUCE or MANUFACTURE and these words can't be directly applied to our origin.

You don't say, since almost everything man does is either produced or manufactured then who PRODUCED or MANUFACTURE man?

My humble submission is this, before God created the universe the word "CREATE" wasn't around since the realm God exists is eternity.

God created the universe doesn't necessarily mean the word CREATE should be applied to Him.

So the best question to ask is; if God created everything, how does God came to be? And I doubt anyone can give you a direct answer because we only found ourselves in the consciousness of God's work.

it just like if AI should develop consciousness and you ask them about human origin.

God was neither created, built or given birth to...he dwells in eternity and he is the origin of consciousness.

Humans created God as a way of explaining the mysteries of the universe. Where human reasoning failed, God was employed to fill in the gap- God of the gap.

What you said in essence is that God influenced creation from outside it so did not need to be a part of creation in order to achieve this.

He existed before any creation ever did so the knowledge available to what God created is extremely limited as man cannot perceive beyond his limited exposure which is this time and space while God exists outside time and space.

It is then totally illogical for anyone to be asking for who created God. Like you rightly observed, the word "create" never existed until creation came to be. So creation only met itself here but anything about where or what they were prior to creation is all shrouded in darkness as our perception cannot break that barrier.

God is described/defined as the uncaused cause and can be likened to a set of dominos which began to fall. Something outside those dominos triggered the first fall of the first piece of domino which triggered the rest. This is supported by the law of cause and effect and eliminates infinite regress.

It then can be said that nobody created God and indeed nobody can. We were all born with this God perception already in us which is why every culture, tradition, all over the world have their own versions of God down to even the most remote tribes which have received no external influence and up to the most civilised. We worship and idolise things even when they are tangible things like cars, fellow humans, inventions, etc. It simply shows the inbuilt nature in man to adore a higher power, beauty or influence.

There is God and there is creation. However Gods creation also has the ability to create and their creation also adores and idolises them as their creator. Its a cycle that cannot be broken... Not even by atheists because even when they do not idolise or worship a diety, they do so with other things which are tangible like money, wealth, pride, work, achievement, etc.

God never came to be. He always was, is and always will be ad infinitum.

Men created all the various Gods they worship. All the various Gods are imaginary human ideas and conception.

First of all, we need to know who you have in mind as God? If you are assuming Yahweh and Allah to be God, then there is an answer for you. God Almighty, the summation of everything in Existence is what created Yahweh, Allah, Vishnu, Olorun and the rest of the gods you humans have ever assumed as God.

14. Now the names of some of these beings( creatures of God) are Knoliud, Miklas, Urim, Chimides, Chaleb, Eartum who is also called Atum, Lar.gas, who is also called Allah, Nymphidis who is also called Yahweh, Wanyioyi,...Abassi, Nzame, Nyame;
