In the Begining...

A common Atheist talking point goes something like this: You say God created everything? Then who created God? Followed by restrained laughter and elbow jabbing. Or for the more "intellectually" minded nonbeliever, there is Occam's Razor that states, in short, "the absence of preconditions in a theory is better than the presence of preconditions". For example: In the beginning there was nothing. No preconditions here. Contrast this with: In the beginning there was God. See the precondition? To thousands of Atheists this alone is proof of no God. Of course it's best not to ask why having nothing in the beginning isn't a precondition. If you give them enough time to think it through, they will no doubt conclude that it is a precondition, but a simpler precondition than to say God exists. This argument is also supported in Occam's Razor. But if nothing existed in the begining, where did everything come from? Wouldn't it be simpler to argue that everything came from something instead of everything coming from nothing? Of course this says little about a specific God, but it's a start.

Okay, okay, but what about the original question. Who created God? Since you probably won't go for "nobody, He was always there" (even though it's true!) how about we compromise? Let's compare God's origination with that of the origination of the Big Bang. We can't explain why it happened, but we're pretty sure it did happen. In other words, you come up with why the Big Bang happened and I'll come up with why God was created. The bottom line, neither of us will be able to get to the bottom of it, but we both know it happened.
