What/Who created God?

[tavarish]

I've been giving this one some thought.

Here's what I've found:

http://www.godandscience.org/apologetics...d_god.html

"How does God acting before time began get around the problem of God's creation? There are two possible interpretations of these verses. One is that God exists outside of time. Since we live in a universe of cause and effect, we naturally assume that this is the only way in which any kind of existence can function. However, the premise is false. Without the dimension of time, there is no cause and effect, and all things that could exist in such a realm would have no need of being caused, but would have always existed. Therefore, God has no need of being created, but, in fact, created the time dimension of our universe specifically for a reason - so that cause and effect would exist for us. However, since God created time, cause and effect would never apply to His existence."


This makes no sense at all.

God does not operate under cause and effect, as he is timeless, but he willed something into existence,which is something that only works as a causal construct.

It all sounds like a case of special pleading to me.



I'd like to hear the best explanation of why an infinite regress is not possible, and preferably one that does not negate the qualities or necessity of the God in question at the same time.
