The discussion centers on the philosophical question of who created God, with participants exploring the paradox of God's existence and creation. One perspective suggests that if God were created, then something else would be the true originator, thus challenging the concept of God as the first cause. The idea that God transcends time is emphasized, positing that if God exists outside of time, then traditional notions of creation do not apply. Some participants argue that God could be self-created or has always existed, while others question the validity of time-related concepts in discussing God's nature. Ultimately, the conversation reflects deep philosophical inquiries into existence, creation, and the nature of divinity.

For clarify in your question, "Who made God?" please define what God is.

That seems like quite a difficult problem to describe something outside of our physical reality.

God is wisdom. God made wisdom. The bible says God first made wisdom. Then his name is translated wisdom. So God says he first made himself. Then the Woman called Wisdom was made.

So who made God ? God himself made himself. Read my T.o.E. Thread I made. It describes digital creation. And describes God as well I believe. Since he said he made himself.

Here's the thread.

Who made you ? Did you make you yet ?

I agree that something can be created from nothing. But there is no factual evidence that something that does not exist can create itself so to speak. We know that the void of space can create particles and it has been conjectured that perhaps the energy from the BB was created in this way, however, the big bang energy did not "create itself" if the theory is correct, it was created by quantum fluctuations of space.

Any book or article proclaiming to describe a god is the creation of man and none other.

Yes. I see.

Ok. How about if... the nature of the clock that started with the big bang, was the nature of God.

So. If this nature did not begin, no big bang. There is no God yet.

But he exists even then. Since the big bang clock brings him. The act of his creation is motion of the clock beginning. Zero clock time is God. Right ?

Because he is the mighty one(God), that comes from the beginning of time.

Is it so hard to believe a big bang clock may begin a mighty intelligence ?

Is God so different from A.I to a clock ? How can the clock respect A.I. and not God ?

Look at my link I gave. It describes A.I.

You've got it wrong, the big bang created the universe, it did not create god. God wasn't created until some 10 billion years(give or take a few billion) when man evolved on Earth and created the concept of god to explain things that he could not explain otherwise.

As far as the other stuff you are saying, the only thing I can say in return is:
What the hell are you talking about?

what's your irrefutable proof for that statement?
 
  • #65
b11ngoo is the one that said the BB created god, so its up to him to prove it.

Making a unfalsiable claim, then demanding another to prove it's wrong else your right, is downright stupid. I think it is pretty obvious where the burden of proof lays here.

I could just as easily claim that my gym shorts are the creator of the universe, and they use their immense power to simply look like a plain pair of gym shorts. Prove me wrong!

when someone claims that man created God then it sounds to me like the burden of proof is on them. until i see a proof, it's not something i will believe or disbelieve.

Because by definition, a idea must originate from a human. The concept of a god is a idea, therefore it is created by man.

created by humans of course.

and is that when x-rays began to exist?

But were not talking about x-rays.
 
  • #72
that's very convienient of you to now, rather than before, profess that there is no comparison. why change your mind about how relevant x-rays are now rather than before when i originally asked about them?

because we weren't and aren't talking about x-rays. We are talking about the IDEA of x-rays

The idea of god.

No one created God. God has always been here. God = Infinite
There is no beginning to God nor any end to God.

Oh look here; a sweeping, unsupported claim backed by absolutely nothing but "a feeling".

God is a complex, a psychological need of humans. Believing in something does not make it true.

by the same token, disbelieving something doesn't make it false.

No but it does seem reasonable to limit belief to that which can be confirmed by observation.

I'm not sure, what are feelings?

I don't think my statement is driven by feelings.

what's the "proof" of this statement?

Could there exist beings superior to humans who created a "God" concept superior to ours, and if so, what more might it include?

Its funny that you would have taken what I have said as meaning that humans have actually created a living, breathing god. Humans created the idea of god.
