Ok...everything requires a creator.
That's a general principle that applies in every case.
Gotcha.
Who created the creator?
who created the creator who created the creator?
who created the creator who created the creator who created the creator?
who created the creator who created the creator who created the creator who create the creator?
etc.
A general principle applies in ALL cases.
But God doesn't change.
Is that a matter of faith?
Let's see, "who created the creator?" Let's look at this in terms of creation itself. Everything that we see is natural. The trees, the grass, the ocean, the universe, and everything else that we can see and that we know physically exists has a beginning and an end. Everything physical grows old and dies. Even the stars in our solar system will all one day die. All physical things have a beginning and an end.
What about spiritual things? Every living thing in existence consists of energy, or a "life force," for lack of a better term. (The Bible even goes into this principle, very in-depth I might add.) Physics tells us that energy never dies. So why is it so difficult to grasp that God is indeed eternal, and He sustains all living things by His eternal power?
The difference between us setting things in motion, and God setting things in motion, is that we, being natural, only have natural things to work with, like the stuff it takes to make a sandwich. And again, natural things are not eternal and we do not have the power to make them so. The natural things that God created while setting His rules and His natural laws in place all have an end, just as His word tells us. That's an obvious observation.
But it's by His spirit that everything is sustained.
"He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together." Colossians 1:17.
His word tells me that He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
You can call it faith, I call it an absolute truth.

got any evidence to support that claim?
