Who Created the Creator? 3
A profound reflection on the origin of the question “Who created the Creator?”—exploring timelessness, the logic of causality, and the birth of the very question itself.
The Question.
He stood at a street corner in the year 2025, holding a smartphone in his hand, and on his lips echoed an ancient question:
“Who created the Creator?”
A question that resonates like the echo of a voice inside a cave with no walls.
He looked at his phone, called a friend who often pondered such questions, and shared what he was thinking. His friend replied:
“If you want to ask that question sincerely, then don’t ask it from the top of 2025. Leave everything behind — your context, time, language, assumptions — and take your mind out of time itself. Go to a place where there is no time, no creation, no language, no question.”
So he closed his eyes and imagined himself there.
There… in eternity.
He looked around. No one was there but him.
He thought:
“There is no one else here. Can I create something?”
“And if I haven’t created anything — how would I even understand the idea of creation? How could I possibly ask: Who created me?”
Then the answer rose within him, simple and clear:
“I can’t ask about creation if I have no concept of it. If I haven’t created anything, I won’t even comprehend what creation means — let alone question it.”
And then he thought further:
“But if I could create something, then I would be the one who invented the very act of creation. If I am the one who initiated this act, then I am not created by it. I am the one who brought forth, from nothing, the very possibility of creation.”
At that moment, he awoke from his imagining, just as his friend asked him a question:
“Who was the first person to ever answer a phone call in history?”
He replied:
“Someone… I don’t know the name.”
His friend said:
“Doesn’t matter. But who called that first person?”
He said:
“Maybe Alexander Graham Bell… or Antonio Meucci. Not sure.”
His friend pressed again:
“Either way… but who called the first caller?”
Silence.
Then finally he answered:
“No one.
Before him, there was no ‘calling.’
No one even knew it was possible to call another person.”
The call ended. And with it, so did the question.
He no longer asked: “Who created the Creator?”
Nor: “Who called the first caller?”
Now he asked himself:
“Who created the question?”
