Whenever a theist brings up the Cosmological argument, an atheist always has to step up and say "well where did God come from"
But there is a big difference between an observable thing and a God.
Where did God come from? Don’t we have to assume that if there is God, then there must have been something before Him that created Him?
These questions assume that everything, including God, is subject to the limitation of time and space, an assumption that the scientific community has questioned and virtually dismissed since Albert Einstein first published his special theory of relativity in 1905.
To accept that God exists outside the framework of time and space as we know it renders any question of what came before Him irrelevant. These questions might be legitimate if God is subject to our constraints of perception, which He is not. The Bible teaches that God is not bound by time or space, and that He simply has not chosen to reveal to us all that took place before He created the universe.

This is a good point and a defense to a bad atheist rebuttal of the cosmological argument
