#2. The perpetual question: Who created God?

If God created the Universe and all that is, then who created God? Where did this Intelligence we call God come from. If we take the position that God is eternal and therefore, always was and always shall be, we still have not answered the question.

Maybe the problem is that our rational minds can not possibly grasp that which is beyond the understanding of the mind. What do you think? Got any ideas? Come on Unitics, give it your best shot!

#2. The perpetual question: Who created God?

#1. Does God Have a Mind that Thinks?

People naturally assume that God thinks. After all, we were created in His/Her image and likeness, so it is obvious that God thinks. God merely has a bigger, grander model of brain-power than his creations have.

But is this kind of thinking realistic? In order for people to think, what is required? Answer: a human body, a healthy brain, a central nervous system, and one more thing -- you must be alive (a corpse does not think). Yet, God does not have a brain nor a human body (or any type of animalistic form, for that matter). Jesus taught as much, saying God is SPIRIT and we must appreciate and connect with God through our Spirit -- not through our mind (John 4:24).

I suggest that God does not 'think' as you and I think. Rather, God's Intelligence System functions more like the heart than the mind. The heart doesn't think, it simply knows. It is holistic in nature. It does not operate in a logical, sequential manner.

This would imply that our true identity is spiritual -- that we were created in the image of God with heart-intelligence. And later on ... God created the human body ... that thinks.
