If God Made Everything, Who Made God?
This is the first "serious" question my kids asked me when they were little, they just couldn't understand it. Everything we see has a beginning, tables, cars, birds, even planets, so naturally God must have had a beginning too, right? No. The God of the Bible is ETERANL! He has no beginning and no end. He is the Uncreated Creator. He is not in the list (category) of things that can be made, because He has always existed.
This can be hard to understand, because we are so used to things coming from somewhere! There has to be someone or some Thing that has always existed that got everything started. Nothing else makes sense. Even scientists say this. An infinite regress is not logical. So, when someone asks who created God, they are asking, "Who created the Uncreated Creator?" Which makes no sense! :)

What are the Dead Sea Scrolls?
These are ancient documents that were found in several caves near the Dead Sea in a place called Qumran. It is considered one of the greatest Biblical archeological finds ever. And it was found by kids!
