Who Created God?
The skeptic asks, "Who created God if God created the universe?"
God, by definition, is uncreated, so the question, "Who created God?" is illogical. A better question would be, "If the universe needs a cause, then why doesn't God need a cause? And if God doesn't need a cause, why should the universe need one?"
Everything which has a beginning has a cause. If the universe had a beginning; then the universe has a cause. The universe requires a cause if it had a beginning. God, however had no beginning, so he does not need a cause.
Einstein's general relativity shows that time is linked to matter and space. Since God, by definition, is the creator of the whole universe, he must also be the creator of time and thus is independent and outside of time. He is not limited by the time dimension he created, so he has no beginning in that which he made and preceeded.
It is like explaining a finite number and an infinite one. If you quote any whole finite number you will theoretically be able to count backwards to zero one number at a time (if you live long enough). If you quote an infinite whole number, you cannot count back to zero one number at a time. There would never be enough time to count back to zero.
God has no beginning and no end and if you don't believe that this is possible, then your pre-requisite of such proof will mean that you will never be able to see the infinite God. See as in insight that is. In other words, i f you requite results from a finite experiment using finite objects and instruments to prove God, then your prerequisite of limiting your findings to finite experiments means that you will only ever see finite results, and thus you will never prove God.
A better way to understand God is to think of the concept of infinite. Is it theoretically possible that the cause of all finality is perhaps infinite? If the universe is big, then is the cause even bigger. If the universe is beyond comprehension, then is the cause even more so. And if the universe contains life, then shouldn't the cause have teh attrribute that it has produced?
Whatever we observe in our existence, the cause must have the original qualities, possibilities, or imagination of that which it put in motion.
The atheist closes his eyes to such possibility. He says that there is no cause or that if there was a cause, then it was certaunly non-living. His bias eliminates one of 3 explanations and the most logical explanation of the three.
- God created the universe.
- Nothing created/caused the universe.
- Something (non-living) caused/created the universe.
