"Dawkins finally gets to one of his chief arguments behind the notion that God is a delusion. “A designer God,” he asserts, “cannot be used to explain organized complexity, because any God capable of designing anything would have to be complex enough to demand the same kind of explanation in his own right.”
In other words, if something is so complicated that only a
conscious designer could explain it, then obviously God—who theists believe created the world and all that’s in it—must be very complicated as well. Thus, for the argument from design to be consistent, something as complicated as God Himself also needed a designer.
In short, Dawkins’s argument can be boiled down to one question: Who made God?
But that argument misses the whole point. An eternal God, by definition, doesn’t have a Creator. He is the Creator. Nothing created Him because He has always existed. Thus the question, “Who created the eternally existing Creator?” is like asking what’s north of the North Pole. An eternally existing Creator was never created; He always was." SignsOfTheTimes
