Unfortunately it's a question akin to asking - what colour is the equator? 'Colour' and 'equator' are not compatable concepts and therefore there is no answer. Similarly, 'God' and 'time' are not entirely compatable concepts, and therefore there is no real answer to the question. HOWEVER, a 'possible' appraoch would be to explore the concept of 'eternity' and try to explain that there is 'not a time before God', there is no time to which we can go 'back' when God was not there. I suspect this wont help Connor much. Heh, trying to get one's head around the concept of 'eternity' gives me a headache! But I am reassured that God always was, is & is to come, from eternity past to eternity future. Who made God IS a good question from an enquiring mind.

This is very hard for us to understand because we were made and so was everything around us. There is nothing except God that has always existed It is good that we know we were made by God because it means we belong to him and we can speak with him and he helps us all the time He gave us the Bible so we could learn more about him. It is like an instruction book that you get when you buy something like a TV or a computer It tells us how to use it properly and what to do when things go wrong I hope this helps you but it is a very hard thing to understand Why don't you ask God about it?

Why don’t you ask God about it?
