82 God is Uncreated Before proceeding to the next argument, it is necessary to dispel one doubt that arises in the minds of some naïve people—particu- larly the young—and that is, if God created this universe, then who created God? That is to say, if it is pertinent to ask who is the Creator and Master of this world, then it should also be pertinent to ask who is the Creator and Master of God? The answer is— regardless of the fact that such a question cannot arise vis-à-vis God, as it will be established later—even if we suppose that the Being who is the Creator and Master of this universe has been created by another being, it does no harm to the argument, for in that case, we will call the higher being God and consider the lower being as one of the creation, as one cause out of the chain of causes, and as one of the intermediate links in the creation. If someone asks who is the creator and master of that higher being, the answer is that if that higher being is the creation of a still higher being, then the highest being will be called God and each of the lower beings will be considered one of the creation. In short, whoever will mark the end-point of this chain; i. e. whoever is considered as the first link of this chain, with no one higher, Him shall we call God and all else His creation. If someone thinks that the question of who is the Creator and Master of a particular being arises on and on ad infinitum about every being, and so, no such being would be established that could be called the first being, the answer is that such an eventu- ality would be logically impossible. If we accept no one as the first being in this chain, inevitably we will have to deny the existence of all the lower beings, including this universe, which resulted
