In the monotheistic sense, yes, but other cultures have exceptions to how much power a god can have. For most old pantheistic faiths, gods are higher beings with control over a certain aspect of nature. Some of them are without an origin of their own (the African god Bumba appearing out of space and literally vomiting the world), or can be spawned from a different being (Zeus and his siblings emerging from the titan Cronos). This day and age, God would be expected by most people to be perfect in all ways, but most civilizations had differing ideas as to what could truly be considered a "god".

Now that I think about it, there are also parts of the bible that suggest the Lord may not be omniscient. Among the earliest of examples is the book of Genesis after Adam and Eve eat the apple, they manage to hide from the Lord's sight in the garden. There are plenty of contradictions on the matter of God's omniscience (among many, many other things.)

Just a heads up: if God was created by something he's not really God.

Well, technically he'd still be a God to us, but not a God to whatever made him.

I really like how people always avoid my statements towards them.

He didn't come into this world nor ever will.

I think he meant to ask where God came from to begin with. Which is a very valid question considering it's never once mentioned in scripture nor do people seem to acknowledge the possible history of his origin.

and scientists are always full of stuff xD

Yeah, those scientists are NEVER right! Remember how wrong they were about heliocentrism and all that bullstuff of the earth being ROUND? And what a bunch of arrogant swine they are for curing horrible afflictions like Smallpox. The LORD demands that the impure die painfully and miserably!

Also, they don't know how those forgetin' magnets work.

I can perfectly understand people having faith, but what absolutely boggles my mind is that there are people who wake up in the morning, get dressed, walk outside and think to themselves "Any day now, our cosmic overlord will descend from the sky and break the seals which will usher forth from the seas a seven headed hydra, bringing in it's wake chaos upon all of the earth and converting the unfaithful to it's bidding. Yes, that is EXACTLY how things are going to happen."
