I think that we can all agree that either the universe always existed or it came into being at some time from the nothing that was already there. According to christians and many other theists God was not created. He always existed and has the power to create the universe. So either the universe always existed with no beginning or else it created itself, both of which require qualities of God.
The problems begin when people start thinking the bible is infallible. Keep your current line of thinking, toss out most of the bible (keep some of Jesus's teachings for good measure), and go from there...
to your original statement: yea, no one has an answer to that. It's why religions are able to make so much money, by pretending to have the answer. It's the problem of infinity really. The human brain can't process it. What is god? did a god make god? it goes on forever... fuck!
