look around you...you probably notice the trees, animals, and people....how did they get there? no it wasn't a BIG BLAST...it was a Creator and that's God he's the only one God too

If we'd invented God recently he would probably be a bit more tech savvy. Since people are hanging onto the God invented a few thousand years ago he's a little behind the times. Writing on stone tablets was probably cutting edge stuff back then. Funny question!

In the Old Testament he was reactive.  That's cause the people brought that out in him.  In modern times he is not reactive, but neither is he proactive; he's taken a wait-and-see attitude.  Why do you ask?  Are you an atheist looking for an argument?

God is, he always is and always was, he was never born nor created. He just is. This is too hard of a concept for the human brain to understand but it is what the Bible explains it to be.

possibly. because he created the world. he could have right then made rainbows like he made everything else! wow! that is just mindblowing isn't it??

Right.  He creates evil and then sits back and does nothing.  Pretty strange for an all-loving, all-powerful God isn't it??

If god existed he had to be made of something. What???\nAtoms, Energy, or maybe some thing beyond our imaginations.\nIF IT WAS ENERGY or ATOMS THEN WHY IS HE SO DIFF RENT FROM US.\nNOW IF he was MADE OF SOMETHING EVEN BEYOND OUR IMAGINATIONS then there has to be someone who created those things which make god up.\nAND IF YOU BELIEVE THAT GOD JUST HAPPENED TO EXIST, BELIEVE THAT GOD IS FUNDAMENTAL, THEN I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOU what is the problem with treating the universe the same way ???

If god in fact exists, and actually did create people, then that is a very interesting point.  So basically what you are saying is, either god doesn't exists, or if he does exist then he is irrelevant.  Sweet.\n\n~Kyle

Then he wouldnt be God anymore.  Is anything actually better than its's creator?  Is the creation bettert than the creator?

Ummm are you lost? You posted under religion/spirituality. \n\nIf your bored go get your bible and read it. Read Psalms 83:18...and dont forget to pray!

I am not a great believer in the God theory, so I'm not surprised that he/she hasn't been back since the old biblical days.\nIf there is a God, perhaps he doesn't like what he sees, and has washed his hands of the whole mess.

Well, that is an easy question. God has always been. Before He created the world and Adam and Eve. He was, is, and always will be.\nhave a good one! :)

Time was created (along with space, matter, and energy) when the universe was created.  Before the beginning of the universe, there is no such thing as time.  To say that "God was there from the beginning" can only mean that God was there since the beginning of this universe.  To ask what happened before the beginning of time makes no sense at all.  We cannot possibly comprehend what exists apart from this universe (other dimensions), because our minds were not built to do so.  To say that God "always" existed has no meaning to other dimensions, because "always" is specifically a time descriptor.\n\nI'm not giving this reason as a cop-out.  I'm only trying to suggest that maybe existence isn't what we think it is.  Maybe this question really has no meaning (or not the meaning you think it does), and maybe it's not even possible for us to understand the answer.  I'm not saying to stop looking, I'm only saying that there is that possibility.

There was not a 'before' according to the creationism theory.  When God created the heavens and the Earth as in Genesis, he would have also created time.  So thus, before God created 'here', there was not only no here, there was no time to be before so that someone else would be here.

God never came into being, he just "was". A good philosophical question though. I think rephrasing it to something more like "What is God" Because God created time, so there was nothing before him, because he created the sequence of events. If you eliminate time from your thought and say, well if God is this thing out there always and been there always, can there be anything bigger or better or precede him. I try and ask these questions all the time but again I remember some simple things. God created our understanding. He created the unniverse, time and is all powerful. I don't think we could ever comprehend even what he is or "how he came into being". To us, we understand everthing as having a start and end, or at least a start. To God, none of this makes and difference to him. We would have to think outside the box to even start to understand. When I say out of the box I mean beyond our ability to think. Although if we goto heaven we supposedly are just our souls and then we can understand because our souls aren't limited to the physical realm which our brains are. \n\nAnyways hope this has helped. Yes God is always around us, don't think he is living, he is neither dead nor alive, just existing.

God created anything! That's all there is to it.
