So the world’s “smartest person” is Chris Langan (this is measured by an IQ score of 200).  

Whether or not you believe he’s actually the “smartest”, he’s a pretty cool guy.  He ultimately rejected academia and chose to work odd jobs (like club bouncer and landscaping) that gave him the freedom to pursue his passion - mathematically proving God. 

He’s got an interesting theory he calls CTMU that attempts to explain the connection between consciousness, quantum mechanics, and the divine.  It’s a pretty neat concept to explore.  But, what really got me thinking was that he started a YouTube channel and he just recently posted a video that addresses the problem of “what created God”.  

His solution is: 

The question assumes the laws of cause and effect.  But, the laws of cause and effect only exist/work through the dimension of time.  Modern science has theorized that time began at the Big Bang.  This means that anything which existed prior to the Big Bang does not need a “cause” for its existence.  With this in mind, the questions "where did God come from?" and "what made God?" are absurd.  

Essentially, the human mind is calibrated to understand a world with a linear progression of time which produces a logic of cause and effect.  Our minds are so slaved to this mechanism of thinking that we cannot conceptualize an existence outside of space-time and the rational approaches scientists use to understand the universe breakdown when applied to reality outside of the universe.  

This argument alone isn’t a proof of God, but it’s a good start by opening the possibility of a self creating or eternal God.

John Harras: What came first, the chicken or the egg?  Those are your choices...either the chicken or the egg.  Any other answer is wrong.

Christopher Langan:  Contrary to popular belief, this age-old dilemma actually has a very straightforward solution. First, you must specify what kind of egg you mean. If you mean “any kind of egg”, then the egg came first (because chickens were preceded on the evolutionary timeline by, for example, egg-laying fish, insects and dinosaurs). If, on the other hand, you mean “a chicken egg”, then you must specify whether this means (a) “an egg laid by a chicken”, (b) “an egg containing a chicken”, or (c) “an egg laid by and containing a chicken”. In cases (a) and (c), the answer is by definition “the chicken” (if the answer were “the egg”, then the egg could not have been laid by a chicken).

In case (b), the usual and most interesting interpretation, the answer is “the egg”. This is because interspecies mutations separating a new species from its parent species occur in reproductive rather than somatic DNA, i.e. in germ cells rather than body cells. (Germ cells include the sperm and egg cells produced in the reproductive tracts of male and female animals respectively.) Since germ cells are merely produced, but not somatically expressed, by the parents of the organism(s) whose biological information they encode, their expression begins in the egg containing the offspring.  So the egg contains a chicken, but was not laid by a chicken. (See how easy that was?)
