“Who made God?

I have had many secularists mock me as a Christian for believing in an eternal God. They’ve asked me the question, “So who made God?” They then claim it doesn’t make sense to believe in an eternal God.

I do give them an answer, but then I ask them about what they believe.

So, what is the answer to the question, “Who made God?” The Bible makes it clear that God exists in eternity. He has always existed. He didn’t have a beginning. There are many verses of Scripture that attest to the fact that God is everlasting, eternal:

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable” (Isaiah 40:28).

“Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God” (Psalm 90:2).

“To the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen” (1 Timothy 1:17).

“The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms” (Deuteronomy 33:27).

Once at a conference I had a young boy, about 10 years of age, come up and asked me, “Sir, if God created us, who created God?” How do you answer that question for a young child?

I then said to him, “If someone made God then you would have to have a bigger God.” The boy replied, “Yes sir.” I said, “But now you have a problem—who made the bigger God? You would then need a bigger, bigger God who made the bigger God who made God.” I then said, “Now you have a problem.” The boy said, “I know.” I then went on, “Who made the bigger, bigger God? Now you would need a bigger, bigger, bigger God who made the bigger, bigger God who made the bigger God who made God.”

The boy understood. We could keep going back with bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger forever and then have to keep going. The only thing that make sense is you would have to have the biggest God of all–the infinite, eternal God of the Bible. The only one true God who has always existed. He had no beginning.

Now that is difficult, really impossible, for us to understand because we are created, finite beings. The space, mass, time universe we live in was created. We think in terms of everything having a beginning because we are finite beings who had a beginning. This means there will always be a faith aspect to understanding who God is. We can’t scientifically prove God exists because we don’t have all information, only God does. That why God’s Word states, “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him” (Hebrews 11:6).

However, it’s important to understand this is not blind faith. It’s a faith that makes sense of what we observe in this world, and observational science in many ways (that’s for another post) confirms this faith over and over again. The history recorded in the Bible makes sense of the evidence we observe in the present in biology, geology, astronomy, and so on.

Note that when you begin reading the first book of the Bible, it states, “In the beginning God . . .” In other words, God’s Word starts with God. He exists. He was not created. God’s Word doesn’t set out to prove God exists, it states God exists! He is, as he states over and over again in Scripture, “I am.”

I explain all that, including the faith aspect, to secularists when they ask me that question about who made God, but then I ask them questions.

After my debate with Bill Nye “The Science Guy” in 2014, we took questions that were submitted by audience members. One of the questions came from a boy who asked, “Where did matter come from?” Bill Nye responded, “I don’t know; it’s a great mystery.” I answered, “There is a book [the Bible] that tells us where matter came from.”

Atheists may mock at Christians for believing in an eternal God, but what do they believe? Where did matter come from? Why does anything exist? Where did energy come from? Why does time exist? Why does space exist? Is matter eternal? Did matter suddenly come from nowhere for no reason? They have no answers! They can have all sorts of opinions and beliefs, but the bottom line is they have no definitive answer at all.

I remember atheist Richard Dawkins claiming the possibility that life was seeded on earth by aliens from outer space. Obviously, atheists can’t explain how life on earth could arise from matter by chance random processes, so one of their ways around this is to claim life came from outer space. All they did was shift the origin of life on earth to another planet.

But then we could ask where the aliens from another planet that seeded life on earth came from? Well, maybe other aliens seeded life on that planet to become aliens to seed life on earth. But then where did the aliens that seeded life on that other planet come from? Were there other aliens that seeded life on that planet so aliens could arise to seed life on another planet so aliens could arise and seed life on earth! I think atheists would be happy to believe in eternal aliens, but not an eternal God.

And how do atheists explain the laws of nature that are immaterial? And why do these laws stay the same and not evolve?

It’s the atheists who have a blind faith. They believe that space, mass, and time somehow eternally existed or came into existence for some reason and somehow matter gave rise to life against everything we observe and know about the laws of nature.

As I’ve said many times, atheism is a religion, a belief system. There is no non-religious position. Atheists have a faith, but it’s a blind faith that lacks credulity. Christians have faith, but it’s an objective faith that makes sense of life and the universe, and a faith that observational science confirms.

Where do you put your faith?

In eternal matter?

In eternal aliens?

Or in the eternal God who created all things and created the first man and woman? But the first man, the head of the human race, rebelled against God bringing sin and death into the world. But God loved man so much, he provided a way of salvation for man so his sin could be forgiven and be able to spend eternity with the eternal God.

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The LORD is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable” (Isaiah 40:28).

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).

Psalm 90:17)

Sometimes we spend more time thinking about the odds stacked against us than we do the favor of God that's upon us. When we are favored by God, the odds will always work in our favor because we are blessed with His favor.

It was God's favor that kept David alive all those years while on the run from king Saul. With Saul being king over Israel, he was also in control of the army; and with king Saul being hell-bent on killing David, the odds were greatly stacked against him. But God was using the odds to build a pattern of trust with David. David could have loss his life many times, but he saw over and over that he was favored by a faithful God and because of this, regardless of how things looked, no weapon formed against him ever prospered.

You may be in a situation where the odds are stacked against you. But don't be fooled by the odds. God's favor is greater than the odds. So hold your peace and don't lose your faith because the odds are about to turn in your favor!

Thursday, Thirty Second Week in Ordinary Time

(Liturgical Colour: Green: A (1))

First reading Wisdom 7:22b–8:1 For wisdom is the refulgence of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God.

In Wisdom is a spirit intelligent, holy, unique, Manifold, subtle, agile, clear, unstained, certain, Not baneful, loving the good, keen, unhampered, beneficent, kindly, Firm, secure, tranquil, all-powerful, all-seeing, And pervading all spirits, though they be intelligent, pure and very subtle. For Wisdom is mobile beyond all motion, and she penetrates and pervades all things by reason of her purity. For she is an aura of the might of God and a pure effusion of the glory of the Almighty; therefore nought that is sullied enters into her. For she is the refulgence of eternal light, the spotless mirror of the power of God, the image of his goodness. And she, who is one, can do all things, and renews everything while herself perduring; And passing into holy souls from age to age, she produces friends of God and prophets. For there is nought God loves, be it not one who dwells with Wisdom. For she is fairer than the sun and surpasses every constellation of the stars. Compared to light, she takes precedence; for that, indeed, night supplants, but wickedness prevails not over Wisdom.

Indeed, she reaches from end to end mightily and governs all things well.

The Word of the Lord

R/ Thanks be to God.
