WE just cannot comprehend something > existing outside of time. So we make up stories. It's very simple, you need to undertsand the order of events.... it is God created, not created God. 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.' Maybe you people need to go back to school and learn the Inglish languagge... 'In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.' Look up the Defintion for the word: "In" then, Look up the Defintion for the word: "the" then Look up the Defintion for the word: "beginning" then Look up the Defintion for the word: (,) Now, try to understand what the word "In" means... and "the" and "beginning".
