I can’t always help but wonder if indeed God was created or something. I mean he created humans, so who created him?

I can’t always help but wonder if indeed God was created or something. I mean he created humans, so who created him?
Man created God in his own image, but the fact that man has an image at all or an imagination to create with is surprising, to say the least in a mechanistic universe. It’s dismissive to say that God is simply a product of our imagination without examining what imagination actually is. Imagination creates with near ompipotence within it’s context. We access our imagination directly at the level of intimate personal engagement. Fantasy is about wishes, wish fulfillment, the future, reaching for knowledge we don’t yet have, reaching for a more perfect self, life, or world. In short, God is an idealized reflection of our own ability to create idealized reflections and exercise control through them and through ourselves.
Nobody created God and he wasn’t created. God is the supreme being. He is the creator of heaven and the earth. He is the creator of all creations. Nobody created God and nobody can create him. He is the ultimate creator. If we were to say – for the sake of argument – that someone created God, then they would ask you, Who created the creator of the Creator? Then, who created the creator of the creator of the creator? And so on, ad infinitum. This is irrational and impossible. All of creation goes back to the Creator Who created all things. No one created Him; He created everything other than Himself. This is what makes sense and is logical.
