Even though you are blowing it off that that can't be the answer, the "us" is Father, Son, Holy Spirit.
Not thousands of years before God's knowledge of the trinity.
When God asked Adam "Where are you?" He wasn't talking about physically, He was asking Adam where he was spiritually.
Now, God knew where they were, both physically and spiritually.
If someone does something wrong/bad, you can still think you were right for doing it.
But if someone does something wrong/bad and they realize it was a mistake to have done it then you have a concept of right and wrong. He wanted them to own up to what they had done.

again, you're adding many layers of interpretation here, including your own religion when you're saying it is the trinity.

Excuse me, but who says that god exists ? He has never dropped by and introduced himself/herself/itself.

there isn't anything hidden in the bible for us to learn, it's a fairly simple book. it's also quite flawed. we'd do better learning from human experience and science.

First off I realize that this is similar to the thread which I have listed below
www.abovetopsecret.com...
but how my questions differentiates from the one above is this.
So God created everything, including man, but if this is so, then who created God?
Basically, there has to be a creator of the creator, right?
Who then gave God the right to be God? And who gave the creator of God the right to create God?
This kind of relates to the matrix somehow, that there has to be a grand architect of what we call reality, or does there?
I would love to hear what you all think of this.
Did someone create God, and if so, who created him, and who created that entity and so on. Does it ever end? Where did it begin? And with who, or what?

One of many
Matthew 3:[16] And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him:
[17] And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
Another
Genesis 1:[26] And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

If God had a creator the creator would have to be at least as 'powerful' and 'intelligent' as God in order to create the creator of everything. This sets up an infinite regress.
