Ordinarily when we want to get familiar with something, one of the simplest way to realize it is to compare it to things that are well-known to us. For instance if one of your friends tells you about an animal that you never seen or heard about it, like eel, you ask him to describe it, when he says it looks like a fish and a snake, you imagine in your mind a snake that can swim like fish.
Concise Oxford English Dictionary defines God as below:
God
■ noun (in Christianity and other monotheistic religions) the creator and ruler of the universe; the supreme being.
(god) a superhuman being or spirit worshipped as having power over nature or human fortunes; a deity. ▶an image of a god; an idol.
(god) a greatly admired or influential person.
Creator, ruler, Supreme Being, superhuman being, spirit, a deity, greatly admired person and influential person; these words or other words like them are posed for God explanation. We have sample of creator, ruler, spirit and other words, so naturally when we want to know God try to adjust him to one of above definitions that are more familiar for us. Act of idolaters (making idols with their hand and worshiping them) is the best evidence that proves this fact. Hence we suppose God a phenomenon beside other phenomena; all problems begin from this first wrong step. To have a correct conceptualize of God we need to know difference between the existence and the existent; God is not something and his existence something else; God is just the existence; existence is his inherent, but essence of other phenomenon are composed of two parts. For example humankind is formed of humanity plus existence; therefore it is only true to call him existent not existence; his existence has derived from another source (God) and not his inherent. There are lots of observable samples that help us to understand the case exactly; e.g. saltiness of foods is by salt but saltiness of salt itself is its inherent; water is source of wetness and humidity of all things but wetness of water itself is its substance.
If anybody does not ask of saltiness of salt and dose not ask about wetness of water; it is not true to ask about creator of God; there is nothing in the universe except God, in every side he appears in one shape and one figure; you can feel God's aroma everywhere and if you hear nicety, all speak to you about God
