Who Created God?

Greetings, Only material things (those possessing a body, form, size, etc.) require a creator because they are material. However, Hashem, Who created the entire magnificent universe that we see and controls it, is certainly not material. He is beyond nature, infinite, and naturally we cannot comprehend Him, since we ourselves are material beings within the world. Science is also limited to studying the material world. To understand this answer, one must delve into scientific topics such as the flow of time and space. Yet one can also explain the matter more simply. Here is a key question: How do we know that something must have a creator? Take, for example, a glass of water sitting on a table; perhaps it has existed forever? What causes us to think this glass has a maker? The answer is: This glass is limited. It has a shape, size, and weight. This proves that there is a reason behind it, someone who determined that this glass would be precisely this shape and size. Similarly, I could ask, why do I have five fingers on my hand, and not six or four? The question itself proves there is a cause that created me, a factor that determined the number of fingers on my hand. We learn that everything that is limited must have a limiter who created it, who determined that it would be exactly so and not otherwise. If one can ask about something, "Why is it this way and not another?"—it must have a creator. Therefore, our world has a Creator, since the world we live in is material and limited, which proves there is a Creator who defined the laws of nature of the universe and determined how our world would look and operate. Now arises the question: Why can we not ask the same question about Hashem? The simplest answer to this question is: Because Hashem has no form! If Hashem had a body, with hands and feet, He too would be limited like us, and then we would have to ask "Who created Him?" "Who limited Him?" "Who decreed that He would have exactly two hands and two feet?" Just as we ask ourselves, "Who limited us?" so too we would ask "Who limited Him?" But since Hashem has no body, no form, no size or quantity, He is infinite. Therefore, He does not need a limiter to create Him. Chazal said of the Blessed Creator: "He is the place of the world, but the world is not His place" (Bereishit Rabbah 84). In other words, the entire world exists within Hashem's reality. Hashem is in fact the true reality, being the only One who is unlimited, the true infinite, and we all essentially exist and live within His reality. In conclusion: Since Hashem is not material, He has no boundaries. He is infinite and eternal because He is not limited by time or space; thus He does not change, has no beginning just as He has no end, and does not require a creator to bring Him into existence at any given point in time or to limit Him. For a better understanding of this answer and responses to additional questions of faith (such as free choice and knowledge, why Hashem created us, how we know the Torah is true), please read the booklet "Sicha Goralit." To find the booklet, search Google for "Sicha Goralit." Good luck!
