[quote="Airborne Butters":ecf20][quote="SW-14":ecf20]Has anyone ever thought about how God came to be? Don't turn this into a religious debate, but I'm sure we can all agree there has to be some "Creator." Who created the Creator?[/quote:ecf20]

Always wondered that! I had to go to this Sunday school thing on weekdays, and the teacher had an answer to all my religous questions, till I asked her "who created God" She came back with some shit like "He's always been there..." but it wasn't good enough answer. It's kinda like "which came first: the chicken or the egg"[/quote:ecf20]

For the sake of arguement - If God wasnt always there, then at some point he came into existance, created or materialized. Then by who, and when, and when did this other being or force that created God come into existance? Big bang? And where did the big bang come from? Nothing? Just, Poof, and it all starts? In the absence of anything else, her answer holds up as well as anything else. That is where the faith part of religion comes from.

Time is the same way. When did it start? Does it really exist or is it just a concept created by man? Is it really linear? If not, it might be possible to skip from point to point. Who knows? Who can prove it one way or the other?
