I just did speculation. Hey, I could be wrong. It is not the first time. We are talking about time here though and the mechanics of it.
Couldn't this type of secnario be possible? It is a paradox of time travel and time itself.

Why can't this be a predestination paradox?

1) To create something, an entity has to exist first.
This is true and this secnario fits this premise.
Quote:
2) If an entity already exists, then it does not have to be created.
Not necessarily so, if we're dealing in a time paradox such as this.
Quote:
3) God creates himself.
4) This is impossible because in order for God to create, he must exist, and so God cannot create himself. (1 & 3)
He does exist and it is not impossible for this to be because of the paradox and mechanics of time itself and time travel.
Quote:
5) This is absurd because if God already exists, then he does not need to create himself. (2 & 3)
The absurdedness breaks down because of the time paradox we have here.
Quote:
6) Because of this, the idea "God creates himself" must be rejected. (4 & 5)
I disagree.
