If we assume God exists, then where did he/she come from? In other words, who or how was God created?

There are as many different conceptions of God as there are people. God himself is way, way, way bigger than all those conceptions.

What if God were malleable? What if you could point to two different things, both of which you could call God, but were different from each other? What if both Gods were the same entity, yet different?

I am one person at work, and a somewhat different person at the bar. I do different things, I have different interests. Yet both people are me.

I believe that God evolved. At some point, he might have been something like one of us. He just got bigger and bigger until he became what we call God. If you look at all of humanity, you can see that all of us have a common ancestor. God could have worked similarly.

Common ancestor theory is weird. It doesn’t say that literally everyone on the planet descended from this most recent common ancestor, it says that because he was unusually virile, we all share a great bit of our DNA with this person. God can be of all of us, but from none of us.

Collective organisms are weird. The largest organism on Earth is a group of aspen trees. They are all identical, and linked through a common root system. How do you determine where one aspen ends, and another begins? Biology laughs at your silly need for distinction.

And that’s how God is. Impossible to understand, impervious to your logic. My absolute favorite spiritual concept is the God of the Gaps. As if any amount of human scientific advancement could possibly dispel God. The gaps that God hides in are great yawning Grand Canyons. The materialistic viewpoint could never understand this.
