Christians believe that God has always existed and always will - he has no beginning and no end - and that he made the infinitely large universe and everything in it before he made humanity to live in his universe to be in relationship with him. Clever human scientists can now create new elements in minute quantities in an Atomic Particle Accelerator, but they need that large machine and huge amounts of energy to do it, so they still can't create something from nothing, as God did when he created the universe.

It's clear from this argument that God is infinitely more clever than humans - he's not human, he's God - but we have to use our limited human brainpower and language to describe him. It doesn't seem right to describe God as 'it' or 'thing', the highest intelligence in the human language is the 'person', so God is described as three persons in one God - The Trinity.
