03 Who made God?

 Ïf God made everything, then who made God”. This is a question often asked by the students in my scripture classes at school. Let me give you two statements, one is logically true and one is not.

1. Everything needs a maker
2. Everything that is made needs a maker.

The first statement can’t be true because you can keep pushing the question back one step and you get to the place of my students. Logically, there has to be what we can term an uncaused cause at the beginning of everything. So the second statement has to be true.

Scientists used to believe the Universe always existed in a steady state, neither expanding nor contracting. Therefore they believed the universe was the uncaused cause of everything.

But now the accepted belief of most scientists is that the Universe is expanding and it began as a single point, infinitely heavy infinitely small and infinitely powerful, about 13.7 billion years ago. They call this the Big Bang (not the TV show) and it marks the beginning of the universe, the beginning of space and time.

Which leaves the big question, what is the uncaused cause of the Universe? Where did the mass and energy and the intelligence for the big bang come from. It must have come from somewhere, because the Universe was made and everything that is made needs a maker. It is perfectly reasonable to call this uncaused cause God, and therefore to accept that God has always existed.

I am very happy for feedback, through this Blog, thee pages of the Grazier or catch up personally.

Here is a short video explaining this argument in slightly more detail.
