How is it that God needs a begining?
An evolutionist needs a beginning, for an evolutionist is a human, while God is outside of our experience by nature.
Race is correct. Weaponeer's question attempts to confine a creationist's world view to the materialist's set of presuppositions. The materialist may well believe that matter and its motion are all there is but the materialist is not free to impose his presuppositions on his opponent's belief system. IOW, each is allowed to explain his own belief in origins in the context of his world view.
Therefore Race is certainly consistent in his belief that God does not need a beginning. While it seems to be true that anything that exists in this material universe needs a beginning (except when the materialists ponder the origin of matter), God, the Creator of the universe is beyond not only the creation itself but also of the laws which cause the creation to function. Materialism and its evolutionary child are at a distinct disadvantage.
