ME: "Does your question also include you? "
YOU: Yes!
If I interpret your comments in their proper context, what YOU are saying is that not even YOU really know what, who or how the universe was created......
Forgive me, I'm just being contentious. I'm still struggling with the belief in a God that supposedly created the universe with a big bang.
When it comes to religion, I am admittedly ignorant so I don't know how to put it into words but for everything there has to be a beginning and ultimately an end. And if the Big Bang was created by a God, wouldn't that God also have a beginning?
In other words, what created God and why shouldn't we question where HE came from?
You ask an excellent and deep question! Rather than give
an answer I might believe, I am going to ask my Pastor today before responding to You. Thank you, I need to ponder this further before responding.
This is my belief, and I do not have any readily handy information to back this up:
God is Eternal. He is the Beginning and the End. Nothing made God as He has always existed. This concept is difficult for us to understand as we exist within Creation.
In other words, what created God and why shouldn't we question where HE came from?
You're asking a question that doesn't make sense when you think about it. Before there was a universe, there was no such thing as time. Without time, there is no concept of beginning or end. God exists outside of time, which is one of the reasons he is omniscient. He can see the whole of time at once, in the same way that you can see a book that has a beginning, middle, and end at the same time. We live inside the book so we can't see it in the same way.
On a side note, without time, causality is broken as well, because you need time or duration to have a cause and effect. In other words, since God exists outside of time, he could have created himself, because that wouldn't violate a causality that doesn't exist.
