Yes, you are in! Where did God come from? An excellent Deeper question for your next date night or small group ice breaker or family time. Inspired by a comment i made on the previous Algorithms episode. We'll tackle it. Here you go...
Thank you sincerely for clicking in. When worthy, thank you for sharing.
Avid listener, you know my odd fixation to share Rom 3:23. For we are all flawed. I am a flawed dude. Not everything that comes out of my mouth is correct. I will make mistakes. If you believe in God and Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, then let the Word be your ultimate guide. Use that Owner's Manual for Life to quality control check any book or sermon or episode you hear or watch. Of course, make sure to take the whole Bible in consideration. Isolating on just one verse not in context can be equally dangerous.
So considering all that. Where did God come from? In the previous episode you hear me hypothesize about what preceded us. We spoke about Algorithms and that AI can finally get through are thick skeptical heads that there can be and is something much more smarter and powerful than us. Up til the latest tech, atheists that they were the smartest.
I hypothesized what if there was a previous civilization. Hypothesis is the key word. To be clearly, it was merely an attempt to help that skeptic find that mustard seed of faith. That existed before you, me, and humanity alone.
To be clear, I do believe in the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. That is my Faith. Something absolutely started this. That a code (your DNA code and mine) cannot exist without a coder.
So where did God come from? Where did our coder come from? How did our coder become the coder?
Short answer, I don't know.
What I do know is something can't come from nothing. Even an atheist scientist has to grapple with that statement.
As for believers, where in the Bible does it explain where God comes from? If you see something that I don't, please let us know at the Contact Us page at fridudes.com.
What I do know is that we have an explanation of a Creator. An all knowing Creator that designed and created us. And as I just confess, that sounds a bit crazy until GenAI came along. Now an all knowing creator is more understandable. Yet great is your Faith that believed in this possibility before we had ChatGPT and Gemini and Claude, etc.
