Q  Who created God ?

The first answer is definitely not you or me. God is something that has been in Existence much before us. I am 53 years old; the questioner is a 12year old child. Let us assume for argument’s sake that God has been in existence for one million years. So, how can a man of 53 or a child of 12 years old attempt to understand that which has been in Existence several lakhs of years before us? We have limitations of sight; we have limitations of knowledge. Which is why this question has remained unanswerable.  

But, you can always establish that some such thing is in existence. When you see a painting; you know that there is a painter behind it. When you see a beautiful pot, you definitely know a potter has crafted it. Each creation has a creator. So, we being creations -- everything including you, me, that tree, that elephant – is created by the Creator called God. And He who has created so much and so artistically must be the best creator on earth.  

Human art gets limited by one’s lifetime -- the number of paintings or poems that one can make. Nature evidences that everything is a poem, everything is a painting in the hands of a skillful artist whom we address as God and we admire Him for His sense of aesthetics.
