This question keeps getting asked on here by atheists, because it “is deemed unanswerable because the only possible reply from those who believe in the objective reality of God is ‘No one made God.’ And if no one made God, then he can’t be there, can he? After all, for every effect there must be a cause, and an effect that has no cause must be imaginary.
Once again, in their enthusiasm to prove their point, the proponents of this argument get their shoes on the wrong feet, entangling physics with metaphysics. Cause and effect do indeed reign supreme in the physical realm and the natural world – both science and normal life would be impossible unless they did. But why should they operate in the same manner in a spiritual realm (if such exists)? We have a choice. Firstly, we can assert a priori that there is no such thing as a spiritual realm – that nothing exists that is not physical and open to scientific investigation. On this basis we can proceed to claim, with some logical justification, that every possible effect must have a cause, because that is how the physical world works. But what we cannot do is use this claim to disprove the existence of God on the grounds that he doesn’t have a cause. Why not? Because our argument would be completely circular. We begin by assuming that no spiritual realm exists (so goodbye, God) and conclude by ‘proving’ our initial assumption. Big deal.”
“Unanswerable questions are not necessarily clever questions... A question can be unanswerable because it is a nonsense question.” [The question] ‘How long is a piece of string’ is unanswerable 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?’ And if we define God as a lesser being who was created by some other entity – or as Richard Dawkins might insist has evolved from some simpler substance because he is too complex to just exist – we are forced to transfer the nonsense question to this higher entity or simpler substance. And that, of course, would take us back to where we started.”
Show me the piece of string, then I will tell you how long it is. Define this God you ask a question about, and then I will answer your question.

God is “the King of eternity,” as the apostle Paul describes him. (1 Timothy 1:17) God has always existed. (Revelation 1:8) His eternal existence is a fundamental attribute of the Almighty.
The idea is difficult for us to grasp because our limited life span gives us a completely different concept of time from that of Jehovah. Because God is eternal, to him a thousand years are like a day. (2 Peter 3:8) Could a grasshopper, which lives as an adult for only about 50 days, fathom our life span of 70 or 80 years? Hardly! The Bible explains that we are like grasshoppers in comparison with our Grand Creator. Even our ability to reason is dwarfed by his. (Isaiah 40:22; 55:8, 9)
If someone else had created God, that person would be the Creator. As the Bible explains, Jehovah is the one who “created all things.” (Revelation 4:11) We know that the universe at one time did not exist. (Genesis 1:1, 2) Its Creator had to exist first. He also existed before there were any other intelligent beings, such as his only-begotten Son and the angels. (Job 38:4, 7; Colossians 1:15) He existed alone first. He could not have been created; nothing was in existence that could have created him.—Job 33:4.

The Bible account of creation hinges on the fact that there is a Supreme Being, Almighty God, who created all things. Who is he, and what is his nature? The Bible reveals that he is quite different from the deities found in popular culture and mainstream religion. He is the Creator of all things, but most people know very little about him.
God is a person, an individual. He is not a vague force devoid of personality, floating aimlessly throughout the universe. He has thoughts, feelings, and goals.
God has infinite power and wisdom. This explains the complex design found everywhere in creation, especially in living things.
God created all physical matter. Hence, he cannot be made of physical elements that he himself has created. Rather, he is of a spiritual, or nonphysical, nature.
God’s existence is not limited by time. He has always existed and will always exist. Hence, no one created him.
God is the Creator of all things, the great First Cause; hence he is uncreated, without beginning.
“In number his years are beyond searching.” It is impossible to place an age upon him, for there is no starting point from which to measure.
Though ageless, he is properly called “the Ancient of Days” since his existence stretches endlessly into the past.
Not necessarily aimed at you but...
“Humanity was plodding along and then one day some smartarze suggested thunder was caused by an invisible man stomping on the sky.
The atheist said “Büllshït!” and asked "Where's the evidence?"
We've been asking for evidence ever since but you’ve never provided any...
Cos if you did have some you wouldn't have to pull the "Have Faith" card.
YOU are the people insisting an imaginary little hairy-nosed psychopath is swooping about in the ether doing the worst possible mayhem on innocent children... NOT I?
If I told you I had a Pixie in my pocket I'm sure you'd ask to see it..
So what we are asking is... produce your Pixie ;)”
