If there is a God, what was before God, or who created God.... if God existed forever (as the theists believe) then what was he doing for all those eternities before creating the universe?Funny thing is I had a similar discussion with a Christian from college who tried to argue for the existence of an all-powerful all-knowing deity by using the law of conservation of mass and energy. When it all boiled down to the premise of his argument he said this perfect deity desired the universe to come into existence, therefore it did.
I asked him what was the reason behind an intelligent deity creating the universe because if said being is perfect and is alpha and omega, then why create the universe? Was it bored? Is this creator-being not content in its own self-contained perfection?
Needless to say he couldn't conjure up a convincing answer.
