SOPHIE’S WORLD For my whole life‚ I have questioned where God came from. I’ve always believed in a God and that He created us‚ but I could never wrap myself around the idea of where He Himself came from. One day‚ I asked my friend and his answer was quite helpful and it might also help you guys‚ he said‚ I think God was always there as the essence of "there". God doesn’t exist like you and I exist. Based on the way we understand existence‚ God doesn’t exist. That’s why that question is so hard
