Who created the creator?

is a category fallacy that is like asking how many inches your Christmas turkey weighs. God is not an event, or any other contingent thing, and since God (by definition) is not contingent, God must be either necessary or impossible.

Cordially,

I like your line of philosphical reasoning. By the way for any who read through this thread I must acknowlegde I borrowed most of my ideas from philospher R.C. Sproul and and astrophycisist Dr Hugh Ross. Don't ask me why I'm telling anyone this besides I don't want to take "credit for anyone else's intellectual acheivements. In the future I will reference sources.

As I said earlier, convenient, but unsatisfying.
