But God has always existed? He's just...been? What makes God always existing and never being created/caused by anything less ridiculous?
If you have an event or process that occurs then something else will have caused that event or process to occur. The universe if taken as a whole can be seen as one great event. God however isn't an event or process that ever began to occur nor a process or sequence of events in himself. So he is both eternal and changeless.
If on the other hand all you have are events that are all caused and nothing that was uncaused then there will be an infinite number of events for any specific event (such as the creation of our universe) to occur. So nothing would ever have been caused to exist.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
