When people bring up this argument I like to throw out this one possibility of what God is.
You could look at God as the eternal existence of everything that ever has existed and ever will exist. all the power, all the matter, all the knowledge, all the possibilities. All put together. When you look at it this way its not that hard to believe. The concept of something coming from nothing is much more impossible than something always having existed. And when you look at God in this manner you get something that is infinite and eternal.
If you think about it there must be an infinite amount of matter, time, and space. Anything else doesn't make since, we ask ourself "what is beyond the edge of the universe." Theoretical Scientists call this the theory of a multi verse. That beyond our universe there are an infinite number of other universes. and thus infinite time, space, and matter. And it all must have always existed.
I guess you could say God took a big chunk out of himself and made all of the universes. This could also be described as the super "big bang" that created the multi verse.
This is just one way of thinking of it and is probably incorrect. but given an infinite "multi verse" anything is possible, and all things that are possible must happen given an infinite amount of time. God may be something that evolved in the multi verse or another universe to a "higher state of being", or a always existing super "thing" that may be sentient. who knows what god really is, but I believe he must exist.
btw: Please don't give me any grief over this post. This is one of many ideas about what God could be and there is no way to know for sure. you may however debate over infinite possibility, the theory of a multi verse, and other topics within this post. but please don't bother saying this idea of "what God really is" is bs, because I'm sure there are numerous problems with this, and i don't really want to get into a debate over this. We cant prove what God really is so why bother, and it might be best we never know.
