You are right, I don't see a difference between what I stated and what 
you stated. My point is the big bang has the same problem of 'who 
created god,' and that the best answer I can think of is that there is 
some element of the universe that 'always has been and always will be,' 
could be the universe itself, could be 'God,' could be a megaverse from 
which all universes spawn from, but the whole 'everything comes from 
something' deal has to end somewhere, where ultimately you need 
something that just 'is' from which everything was created.
