Nothing from nothing
Samuel Clark a philosopher who's writings were on metaphysics, theology, and ethics: once stated that nothing can come from nothing. He was using this argument to infer that god created everything.
So how was god created?

Well then that means god came from nothing which is even more hard to believe .I hate it when so called intelligent people always say there is a god because there is an unknown answer to a scientific question ! .This goes back to the god of the gaps theory or what ever it’s called .

If nothing can come from nothing then obviously God created the universe. Who was in turn created by a higher God who probably was the one that made that rule that God can't forgive unless he sacrifices his son on the cross, who was in turn created by yet a higher God --- ad nausium. -- OR -- (think Occam's Razor) The Universe is Eternal.

To infer, or to imply?

Varn:
OK, there are like 12 tenants he apparently proclaims, and (he wore a wig) #1 being, “That something has existed from eternity” ...that something being, “...some one immutable and independent being” It sounds far less than theoretical and total conjecture, to me.
Did Mr. Clarke envision ‘a god’ having compiled the matter for the Big Bang … because ‘somebody had to?’ It reads like a parlor game of old … so those of his time could entertain themselves with fantasies that have no bearing in verifiable science.
