The question humans have asked for centuries.
One day, a child asks a simple question:
โIf God created humans, then who created God?โ
It sounds like an ordinary question.
But behind those few words is one of humanity's oldest mysteries.
We understand beginnings because almost everything we see has one.
A baby is born.
A tree grows from a seed.
A building is constructed.
A planet forms.
The universe itself had an early state that scientists continue to study.
So naturally, the human mind asks:
โWhat came before?โ
Religious traditions have different answers.
Many believers say that God is eternalโGod did not begin to exist and therefore was not created.
Philosophers have debated the idea for thousands of years.
Science, meanwhile, can investigate the history and development of our universe, but it does not currently have a scientifically proven answer to the question of whether a creator existsโor what, if anything, could have existed beyond the beginning of the universe.
And perhaps that's what makes this question so fascinating.
Because if we say, โSomeone created God,โ we can immediately ask:
โThen who created that someone?โ
And if that creator also needed a creatorโฆ
the question could continue forever.
Maybe that's why this isn't simply a question about God.
It's a question about existence itself.
Can something exist without being created?
Does everything need a beginning?
Could there be something eternal?
Or is our human understanding simply too limited to know?
After thousands of years, humanity still doesn't have one universally proven answer.
And maybe that's okay.
Because sometimes the most powerful questions aren't the ones that have easy answers.
They're the ones that make us look at the skyโฆ
look at ourselvesโฆ
and wonder:
โWhy is there something rather than nothing?โ

Dumb one from me. If eternal just means it never started, why can't the universe be the thing that never started? Why does the stopping point have to be God and not the stuff itself?
