Why don't you ask yourself this question: what was before God? Who created God?

Yeah, there are atheists like you who is an atheist when it comes to Allah, Zeus, Krishna and all other 20 million gods, but believes in Jesus. I am just one god more on the list of unbelieving in gods.

Then why didn't this contemporary scientist working in Fermilab mention God even once when talking about What happened before the Big Bang?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
