Why is God always an exception? If anything, adding consciousness, free will, intelligence, thought, and intention to something makes it even less likely to come to being on its own because it would be even more too complex to come to existence without having been created than any non-living thing, matter, or energy could ever be.
If God created everything other than himself, then where did God exist (where was his physical being existing in) before he created everything that exists or has ever existed? If god created all existence then where was God before that? How could God exist nowhere? How could God exist in total nothingness? And if there was something that he could exist in, or needed its presence in order to be able to come to existence or in order for God to find something that he could exist in or be physically present in, because you assume that nothing in the universe could exist without the universe itself being present first, because nothing can exist in vacuum, how come then you assume that he created everything there is from nothing, when he was not the first thing ever that was present when he appeared out of nowhere, or when he wasn’t the first thing ever to come to being? How can you still assume that he must have created everything there is from nothing, without exception, when something else was present or existed before he came to being? This still means that something must have existed before this God created everything there is to create, because he cannot create where he’d be or be physically present in before creating himself or before he even existed. Which means that God didn’t create everything there is. And he cannot exist in total nothingness or absolute vacuum. Even God cannot exist in nothing. He has to be somewhere. If it’s okay for God to exist in such nothingness, then it’s okay for the universe to come to being in that same absolute vacuum or total nothingness, which is the state of the universe or all existence that you assume existed before God decided to create anything else other than himself. One need not pave the way for us or for anything else to come to existence before they even arrive, be created, or come to existence, if God himself can exist or come to existence in total nothingness or absolute vacuum, without needing anything whatsoever to exist before him in order for him to be able to come to existence. In this case, or if this were true, things can be created in total nothingness or absolute vacuum. Which means we don’t need someone or something to create anything to pave the way for or make it possible for anything else to start existing or to come to being. If God needs something before he begins to exist, or before he comes to existence, then he didn’t create everything, therefore he is not God. If God doesn’t need something to exist before him in order to make it possible for him to exist, then whatever that exists inside the universe doesn’t need something to be set in motion or created first before them in order for them to be able to exist or come to existence. Either way, there is no God. In both cases, God doesn’t explain the origin of anything, not even himself. If God created where he is, then where was god before God created where God himself physically existed?
This physical form of existence of God must have existed ‘somewhere’. How could this physical form of existence of God exist somewhere, and not nowhere, or in or within nowhere, if God created everything that exists and everything that has ever existed in all time, and at the same time claim that God was present or has always existed before anything else ever, even vacuum. And that there was nothing before God at all. That is impossible to be true, and this means that the claim that God existed before anything else has ever existed is not true, and is impossible.
All this means that a God can’t exist before anything else ever came to being, as described in religious texts of various religions, where they claim that God has always been existing from the start before anything else.
