Religious people claim that the Earth had be created from God because of design, but they never talk about where God came from. I'm I suppose to believe that God created itself? Then that contradicts what religion says about God creating the universe. It doesn't, really. Thomas Aquinas (most famously, though he borrowed the notion from Aristotle) discussed God as perhaps the single exception to the otherwise faultless rule of causality: that everything exists and happens as a result of the existence or action of something else. And this is largely what would make Him such a special and unlimited being - the unique ability to self-create, unlike all the contingent objects and events in nature. We term such a being an uncaused cause, or a first mover.

Though see this as speculation and philosophy. Like I said earlier, there's no way of knowing and no real evidence to prove there is a God(s). I will not claim I know the answer, because in reality I do not know. Hell, the existence of Earth could of just been luck. I don't plan to believe in a deity soon because I don't see a real reason to. I will admit that I could be wrong. And if God is a unlimited and all knowing being, won't it understand my plea?
