Yet we don't know the nature of such a Creator so we are not in a position to judge whether or not it has its own Creator. We also have no reason to assume that there is more than one Creator, hence it is imperative to believe in One Creator. (I don't use this argument myself but I do find it intriguing).
Right on schedule, buddy. Right on schedule.
Anyway, the question is still out there for anyone who would like to try and make a compelling argument. So far we've got:
1. God is an immense magical being
2. God is eternity
With all due respect, these answers are not compelling, at least not by themselves. No comparative or supporting argument has been provided.
Not only that, but these arguments are contradict the notion that something can come from nothing. You'll have to do better than "that reasoning doesn't apply to god". That's convenient and selective reasoning.
