People ask the question, "If God created everything, then who created God?" because they know that
everything in our universe – including the universe itself – has a beginning (and an end, for that matter). However, people who ask such a question about God are thinking in mundane and temporal terms, and they are thinking too small about God, for
God is not part of our universe. Thus God is not, nor was He ever, subject to our universe's laws and limitations.
God exists outside of our universe, and it may very well be that everything outside our universe
is God, and that our universe is in fact contained (and maintained) within God. Thus, God is not subject to our universe's laws/limitations of time, space, creation, decay, the speed of light, etc.

This old and trite "line of reasoning" is nonsensical, and not really worth contemplating if you're earnest about knowing God.
