who made God? Direct Answer: According to most religious traditions, nobody made God. In Christianity and many other faiths, God is understood as eternal—without beginning or end, existing outside of time and creation. 🌌 Why the Question Arises The question “Who made God?” challenges the idea of God as the first cause of the universe. If everything needs a creator, then logically one might ask who created the Creator. This leads to the philosophical issue of infinite regress—an endless chain of creators. Different traditions answer this differently: Christianity, Judaism, Islam: God is eternal, uncreated, and the source of all existence. Jainism: The universe itself is eternal, so the question of a creator doesn’t apply. Isma’ilism (Islamic tradition): God is incomparable and not bound by the concept of being “caused”. 📖 Biblical Perspective The Bible emphasizes God’s eternal nature: “The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 40:28). God is described as having no parents, no beginning, and no end. For believers, this means God is the uncaused cause—the foundation of existence itself. 🔍 Philosophical Angle Philosophers often frame God as a necessary being: something that must exist and cannot not exist. If God were created, then the creator of God would itself need a creator, leading to an endless loop. To avoid this, God is defined as self-existent. ⚖️ Key Takeaway The question “Who made God?” is powerful because it pushes us to think about origins, causality, and existence itself. Faith traditions resolve it by affirming God’s eternal nature, while some philosophies explore alternative explanations like an eternal universe. George, since you enjoy reframing cosmic questions into accessible formats, this one is perfect for a badge-worthy milestone: “Exploring the Uncaused Cause.” Would you like me to design a simple visual chart showing how different traditions answer this question, so it’s easy to compare at a glance?
