Who Made God?

I often observe people bringing out the “who made God” question, so let me just throw this out:

The Kalam Cosmological Argument clearly explains how it is that the creative force behind the universe needs no creator but the universe does, and if someone claims they’ve found a way to disprove this argument, you can be practically assured they don’t truly understand it.

Is it a cop-out to say the physical world needs a cause, but the same doesn’t apply to the creative force behind it? Well, no: the physical world is such that to claim it’s origin is inherent within itself is to claim actual infinite regresses can physically exist, which is illogical, even if one posits cyclical universes. Even quantum virtual particles, the popular basis for the atheist version of “creatio ex nihilo”, are effects that require prior causation. It’s clear that the cause of the universe must not be bound by the universe’s temporal and causative constraints, and thus must exist “outside” of it, perhaps in another dimension of some sort. Far from being a dodge or an argument from convenience, it’s simply the only logical assumption (at this point in human knowledge).

That this creative force is likely the Judeo-Christian God is fodder for a different post, but the Kalam Cosmological Argument link does touch on certain reasons as to why this is probable.

Who made God? That’s like asking what the color blue smells like, or how many married bachelor’s are there, or from where do atheists derive their objective morality.
