Firefly you bring up an interesting point. Were does God come from?
Unfortunatley religion doesn't even answer that. Basically what it comes down to is that you must believe that He exists only because He is the creator. It doesn't sound like a very sound statement, but there are many things in science that are just as ambiguous. One is the anthropic principle, which basically states that the universe is the way it is because we are here to see it.
I'm not trying to change anyones minds about anything because basically its a futile effort. I can't make an athiest believe God exists the same way he or she can't make me believe he doesn't exist. It makes for good discussion but people shouldn't fight about it because no one is going to win. It is pompous to think, as a Christian, that we have the right to change people's mind about their religion. Yes, it does say in the bible to spread the word of God, but it doens't say to cram it down people's throats.
If they don't want to believe they won't simple as that. All we can do really is agree to disagree.
I don't mind discussing and debating whether or not God exists and how everything began. Such discussions are healthy. However, no one should ever try to change the others view because thats how fights get started and nothing productive ever came from fighting.
