We believe that god is ultimate creator. So where does God come from? He must have a life? Attended university, graduated with first class degree in science? He must be so knowledgeable that renders it possible for the creation. He must have did countless experiments before he succeed? Which goes to the basic questions. Who is God before he even created the whole universe?
Where does God come from?
The concept of God generally includes being the whole "unmoved mover" no begining nor end, outside of time, time does not apply so he couldn't have been anyone "before" creation just like he can't be "after" creation. He is infinite.
It's a hard concept to grasp, but according to Christianity, there was never anythingb efore God and there will never be anything after. He has always been and will always be.
God evolved from story's of spirits to story's of gods to story's on 1 God.

No matter what you believe (or don't if you're an atheist), you have to believe that something or someone existed without being created.

Maybe the Ground of all existence is pure energy...god, the way humans envision her/him is man made. That kind of god doesn't exist. Oh, and by the way, god isn't dead, she's just away on business.

Nothing existed before god because he has always been. Through him all things came to be. As for him going to university, he's omniscient, all knowing, all seeing, nothing escapes him.

Yeah and we used to think the Earth was always there, the sun was always there, hell we even thought the sun revolved around Earth. It takes time to discover the truth, and even at that we still might not discover it.
To me, God is a figment of the imagination born out of fear of the unknown. People feel safer (ironically) believing in a deity that is responsible for what they don't know or understand, and that's fine by me. That's the purpose God serves. He/She/It comes out of anything unknown, and there always was and always will be something unknown. In essence, god comes from us. It is a part of us, and as religious as this might sound, I consider myself a more a borderline agnostic/athiest. It really depends on context more than anything else.
God has always been and always been. I see God not as a person or a person sitting in the clouds but as the good in everything. God is in all of us. God a feeling, or an idea. Something nust have created Earth. People argue and say that Earth came from a big bang, whcih was one large mass that exploded and is still exploding out into space. But what created this large mass that exploded anyways? It had to have come from somewhere. Something had to have made it. On the otherside, the one I believe is that God created us to not understand Him. He is all powerful and made our brains too small to understand Him. Maybe we are little ants running around a bug bread crumb on the floor in some Gods kithen floor?
If there was something before god, could it be "god"?
