Christian theology posits that God is eternal, having no beginning or end.

Even before creation the Bible speaks of an eternal God who is sovereign over the universe who has no beginning or end.

From an atheist perspective, the only other possibility is that some sort of material or matter existed eternally that randomly created things.

In the end, one must choose between an infinite personal God who has always existed or a lifeless impersonal matter as the source or originator of our creation.

Additionally, the question “Who created God?” may represent what scholars call a category fallacy, which occurs when something is incorrectly evaluated based on irrelevant criteria. Similar to questioning the existence of a musical note based on its aroma, applying temporal attributes to an eternal God is a logical misstep.

In one of his debates, Christian evangelist Kent Hovind elaborated on the category fallacy argument as follows:

“Asking where God came from would imply that you are thinking of the wrong God. The God of the Bible is not affected by time, space, or matter; if He had been, then He would not have been God.

To elaborate a bit more, scientists call time, space, and matter a continuum that means that they would all have to come into existence simultaneously.

If there was matter but not space, where would you put it? If there were matter and space but no time, then when would you put it? All three elements would have had to come into existence simultaneously.

The Bible clearly answers that in just ten words in the first verse of the Bible ~ Genesis 1:1. “In the beginning (time) God created the Heavens (space) and the earth (matter).”

The God who created this universe is outside of this universe. He is above it and beyond it, in it, through it, and He is unaffected by it.

The question of where God came from assumes that there is a limited God, which is our biggest problem. The God of the Bible is not limited by time, space, or matter. 

If we could fit the infinite God in our three-pound brain, then He would not be worth worshiping. We must not limit the infinite God by our finite understanding.”

Psalm 90:2 (NKJV)

Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You are God. 

In conclusion, asking “Who created God?” misses the point of what Christians believe about God. According to Christian theology, God is eternal, without a beginning or an end, and exists beyond time, space, and matter. Unlike anything in the created universe, God doesn’t need a creator. The idea that something had to create God is a misunderstanding because God is fundamentally different from everything else. Ultimately, we have to choose between believing in an eternal, personal God or thinking that lifeless matter somehow created everything. The Bible presents God as the everlasting Creator, beyond our full understanding, yet worthy of our worship.
