If god created the universe? Who created God?

Most religions presume that the universe had a beginning through a process of creation. But what is creation? If I collect a stone from the street and show it as my creation, you would laugh at me.

Suppose, I carve a beautiful form out of that stone, immediately you will admire it as a creation. How did a simple stone, which was not considered a creation, now turn out to be a beautiful creation? What I brought out of the basic matter, stone, is an ordered state not a random state.

To create and maintain order, work has to be done. Thermodynamically, nature moves to a chaotic state to lower its energy; i.e. Increase its entropy.

So while a small region can become more ordered, overall the finite isolated system or universe has to become more chaotic. Now look at the observable Universe, examination reveals that it is a well ordered and regulated system. Look at the structure of an atom, a molecule, a crystal, a solar system.

Surely such a well behaved, ordered system cannot happen by accident or as the result of random events. Hence religions say the universe has to be a creation, just as the form carved out of stone has to be a creation. There has to be something behind the creation.

That something must have all the wisdom (knowledge and skills) needed to create this entire universe. All theologies call that something GOD. Any creation involves two factors an intelligent cause and a material cause.

For me to create a form, even if I have the knowledge, I must have some material. In my case, I could go out and collect a stone from the street. Similarly the intelligent cause, God, to create this entire universe needs some material.

He does not have the luxury to go out and get the material for his creation as that would only be a partial creation. He therefore has to create the material too, out of himself. It is a peculiar creation wherein the two causes – the material cause and the intelligent cause have to be one and the same.

The muNDaka upaniShad gives an analogy: The spider projects the material for the creation of its web; it is the material cause for the creation, and the intelligence to create the web rests with the spider too. Thus the material cause and the intelligent cause for the spider’s web are one and the same. What is the size of this universe?

Creation has to be infinite (an open system). If it were finite (a closed system), a boundary defining the universe would have to separate it from something else. Then, where did that come from?

It has to be created too. Therefore it implies that creation has to be boundless or infinite, no inside or outside. So where is the creator now, after creating the Universe?

The creator cannot be inside or outside the creation as it is infinite. He cannot be a part of creation either because He would then be limited by creation like all other parts and therefore not the creator. The only alternative is that He and the creation are one.

Not only is He the material and intelligent cause, it also follows that he is inseparable from the creation. If the creation is infinite, He has to be infinite too. Hence, He pervades the entire universe, both inside (referring to the mind) as well as outside (referring to the body and the world).

Normally the intelligent cause (wisdom) can only be an active entity while the material cause can only be a passive entity. In the case of the Universe both causes rest in one, just as in the creation of a spider’s web, both the intelligent and the material causes are one, the spider. But in the case of a spider, the web becomes separate from the spider.

In the case of the Universe the creator cannot be separated from the creation, creator and creation are not two (advaita). In other words the intelligence is the material, the material is the intelligence. The Universe, Brahman is Self-arising wisdom.

Your a Deist, not a Theist, so I will not even attempt an answer beyond that your God or perception of Him is not the Biblical God I follow which is the TRUE creator of the universe.

Its only limited knowledge that we know. Would anyone believe that there is a thing called radio waves? Photons?

Electrons? Probably if you said something like that to a person in ancient times they would think you've gone nuts! God brought us to existence..He doesn't need any one's help.

"create" wouldn't even be a thing if he didn't make it . Time is also something he made. Can we imagine anything without time?

But awkward as it is he even created time...Greatness of who made us. Isn't it? He is always there.

We say God because he is almighty. Never dying. Always there .

The most powerful. And if we go to heaven we will be lucky enough to see him ..

By definition, the Christian God never came into existence; that is, He is the uncaused cause (Psalm 90:2). He was always in existence and He is the one who created space, time, and matter. This means that the Christian God is the uncaused cause, and is the ultimate creator.

This eliminates the infinite regression problem. Some may ask, "But who created God?" The answer is that by definition He is not created; He is eternal.

He is the One who brought time, space, and matter into existence. Since the concept of causality deals with space, time, and matter, and since God is the one who brought space, time, and matter into existence, the concept of causality does not apply to God since it is something related to the reality of space, time, and matter. Since God is before space, time, and matter, the issue of causality does not apply to Him.

http://carm.org/if-everything-needs-crea... And The question of whether God created life on other planets is certainly fascinating. Psalm 19:1 says that "the heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows His handiwork." Everything that God has made, be it you and me, or wildlife, or angels, or stars and planets, has been created for His glory.

When we see a breathtaking view of the Milky Way or peer at Saturn through a telescope, we are amazed at the wonders of God! David wrote in Psalm 8:3; " I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained." When we see the vast number of stars, then read that scientists have discovered thousands upon thousands of galaxies, each containing millions of stars, we should be stand in reverent fear of a God so immense to make all that and call it the work of His fingers!

Furthermore, Psalm 147:4 tells us that "He counts the number of the stars, He calls them all by name." It is impossible for mankind to know how many stars there are, not to mention the “name” of every star! "Indeed My hand has laid the foundation of the earth, And My right hand has stretched out the heavens; When I call to them, They stand up together" (Isaiah 48:13).

Space and planets were created for God's glory. We know that stars and planets outside our solar system exist, and these, too, were created for the glory of God. A constantly expanding universe is yet another conjecture that has yet to be proven.

The next star farther than the sun is over 4 light-years away, and that isn't even a measurable fraction of the size of the known universe, expanding or not. As to whether there is life on other planets, we simply do not know. So far, no evidence of life on the other planets of our solar system has been found.

Considering the nearness of the end times, it is unlikely that man will progress far enough to visit other galaxies before the Lord’s return. Wherever life exists or doesn’t exist, God is still the Creator and Controller of all things, and all things were made for His glory. http://www.gotquestions.org/vast-univers...

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
