If god made everythingliving and nonliving, then who made god ?
am looking for some real serious answers.

Answer

Hello!brbrYour question ascribes a belief to Theists they do not hold. No theologian asserts God made everything living and nonliving for if God made everything, then He would have made Himself. Of course, this is absurd.brbrTheists believe God is an eternal, necessary being. Hence, it is impossible for God to be made. If He were made, He would not be God.brbrOne of the arguments goes like thisbrbr Every effect has a cause.br The universe is an effect.br Therefore, the universe has a cause.brbrSince God is not an quoteffect,quot God does not have a cause.brbrAs to eternality, that is understood by logical deduction. Lets look at this disjunction Something has always been or there was a point of nonexistence. Youre assuming, of course, that something exists this is existentially undeniable. If not, then your question is about existence, not God.brbrIn order for there to be a point of nonexistence, the something which exists must either havebrbrA Created itself.brB Came from nothing.brbrAgain, A amp B are logically exhaustive. There is no other category.brbrFor something to create itself, it would have to exist prior to existing in order to accomplish this. Of course, this is a contradiction and cannot be true.brbrAs to B, pure nothingness has no substance, parts or characteristics. For something to come from nothing, this nothing must at least have the attribute that something could come from it but if nothing has an attribute, then it is no longer nothing. Hence, one must equivocate to sustain this premise.brbrSince something cannot create itself and since something cannot come from nothing, the only rational conclusion is that something has always been.brbrOf course, there is much more that could be added to this.
