A God Question? NF


John

Recommended Posts

I was having a chat with my 6 year old grandson last night after hockey practice. He is pretty bright and usually understands that my 54 year old brain is fried at that time of the day. However, he came up with a blockbuster that I am sad to say I had no answer for. His question was......"If God created us, who created God"..... well, not panicking, I thought for a few seconds and once realizing that I was screwed, told him that I had some "friends" some of whom were more in touch with God than I was and I would ask them.

 

OK, here's a chance to save me from being embarrased by a 6 year old. All contributions will be taken under advisement...... :blush:

Ummm...you've turned to this forum for an answer like that? LOL. Gotta love the logic of kids...my 5 year old asks some doozies as well!

 

I did a quick search on google...type in "who created God" (with the quotation marks). You'll get lots of returns....

 

Here's an excerpt from one....

 

IN SUMMARY

The universe (including time itself) can be shown to have had a beginning.

 

It is unreasonable to believe something could begin to exist without a cause.

 

The universe therefore requires a cause, just as Genesis 1:1 and Romans 1:20 teach.

 

God, as creator of time, is outside of time. Since therefore He has no beginning in time, He has always existed, so doesn't need a cause.

 

Good luck explaining that....LOL.

The easy way to say it is, God always existed. Thats the general belief. My kids have asked similar things as well. As they get older they aske harder questions... LIke this one.

 

If god can do anything, can he make a rock so big and heavy that he can't lift it?

 

Turning to a fishing forum for advice on religion....What has this world come to.

Where did God come from?

 

We can only partially comprehend the notion of God's existence. To do so, we must use human concepts to speak of God: "without beginning or end"; "eternal"; "infinite", etc. The Bible says that He has always existed: " . . . even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art God" (Psalm 90:2). And, "Your throne is established from of old; Thou art from everlasting" (Psalm 93:2). Quite simply, God has no beginning and no end. So, where did God come from? He didn't. He always was.

To us, the notion of time is linear. One second follows the next, one minute is after another. We get older, not younger and we cannot repeat the minutes that have passed us by. We have all seen the time lines on charts: early time is on the left and later time is on the right. We see nations, people's lives, and plans mapped out on straight lines from left to right. We see a beginning and an end. But God is "beyond the chart." He has no beginning or end. He simply has always been.

Also, physics has shown that time is a property that is the result of the existence of matter. Time exists when matter exists. Time has even been called the fourth dimension. But God is not matter. In fact, God created matter. He created the universe. So, time began when God created the universe. Before that, God was simply existing and time had no meaning (except conceptually), no relation to Him. Therefore, to ask where God came from is to ask a question that cannot really be applied to God in the first place. Because time has no meaning with God in relation to who He is, eternity is also not something that can be absolutely related to God. God is even beyond eternity.

Eternity is a term that we finite creatures use to express the concept of something that has no end -- and/or no beginning. Since God has no beginning or end, He has no beginning. This is because He is outside of time.

so if I understand what misfish is saying ..God has already looked at fridays super seven draw and knows if I won or not

 

want to slip me the numbers God

..thanks in advance

 

 

 

Sorry Terry, I already asked God For that one!

There are things logic can't explain. Like you there's no way to explain to an ant how a jumbo 747 can fly.

 

But if I really want to get an answer I can understand, I'd ask God.

 

How a 747 flies

 

Bernoulli's Principle states that for an ideal fluid (low speed air is a good approximation), with no work being performed on the fluid, an increase in velocity occurs simultaneously with decrease in pressure or a change in the fluid's gravitational potential energy.

 

This principle is a simplification of Bernoulli's equation, which states that the sum of all forms of energy in a fluid flowing along an enclosed path (a streamline) is the same at any two points in that path. It is named after the Dutch/Swiss mathematician/scientist Daniel Bernoulli, though it was previously understood by Leonhard Euler and others. In fluid flow with no viscosity, and therefore, one in which a pressure difference is the only accelerating force, the principle is equivalent to Newton's laws of motion.

 

Bernoulli's Principle was often cited as the primary cause of lift in aircraft wings. While it has some effect, the simple description (eg. "equal transit time or "longer path" theories) provided in many elementary textbooks is incorrect. [1]

Pretty simple :whistling: , but did you try to explain this to an ant :dunno::w00t::devil:

If I were an auto mechanic, people would come to me with their car questions and car problems.

 

If I were a lawyer, people would come to me with their legal questions and legal problems.

 

If I were a doctor, people would come to me with their medical questions and medical problems.

 

Now, what do you think the priest is there? Or a minister or whatever.

 

If people do not go to him, he soon will be unemployed. In any case, it would be good to see him so that he would feel that he has a purpose on this earth.
