Who Made God?

" 'How long is a piece of string?' is a nonsense question not because there is no such thing as a piece of string, nor because a given piece of string has an indeterminate length. It is a nonsense question because it fails to define which piece of string is being talked about. 'WHo made God ' is unanswerable for the same basic reason - the word 'God' is left undefined. What if we define 'God' as 'the uncreated creator of all things'? Then the nonsense of the question becomes immediately obvious - 'Who created the uncreated one?'

Amen Lloyd! Thanks for passing by. Neil

Well, then I define the universe as "uncreated", so if I'm ever asked by an evangelist "who created the universe?", I can say that it's a nonsense question!

Yay semantics!

Very clever Nohm - perhaps worth reading Edgar Andrew's book before making a decision on that! The problem you have is that you have no proof whatsoever for your theory that the world is not created, whilst the posts above are part proof of the fact that the world is created.
