"Astrophysicist Hugh Ross recently tackled the question of who or what created God.
"God has given us two books, the book of scripture and the book of nature," stated Ross in reference to a concept developed by
theologians in the Middle Ages. "In the 21st century we're seeing, daily, that scientific discoveries are giving us more evidence for the Christian faith. New evidences from the book of nature shows us that we can trust the book of scripture."
Ross explained that when he presents his scientific evidence for the existence of God, "the most common question" he gets in response is "Who created God?"
"It's not just scientists that ask that question. I get that question from little children. If God created the Universe, who created God?" said Ross.
Ross said that he explained to those who ask the question that there existed "these space-time theorems that tell us there's actually more than one dimension of time."
"Time is that dimension in which cause and effect phenomena occur. And we have these theorems that tell us that we have the universe come into existence before time exists ," noted Ross.
"Which implies for the creator of the universe, that creator must have access to at least the equivalent of two independent dimensions of time."
By noting that God can exist on a different timeline, Ross explained that this means "that God would have no beginning, no ending, and would be uncreated."
"And of all the world's holy books, only the Bible says that about God. That He has no beginning, no ending, and is uncreated..."
Christian Post, writer and apologist Justin Steckbauer also responded to the question by labeling it a "fallacy."
"By definition, if God could be created, then He wouldn't be God. He'd be man. We think in these finite terms: Who created God?" CP
