Good video :) You actually answered the question about God's origin when you quoted Psalms 90:2 *"from everlasting to everlasting you are God".* In my mother tongue it says "you are without beginning and without end". We find that quite often in the Bible, and I guess it is the limits of our logical thinking which dismiss this truth about God's origin (or - missing origin) as an excuse for nescience. Many people (atheists) say "if the universe had to have a beginning then God has to have a beginning as well". But this way of thinking implies that God is as small as His creation. The basic assumption in this statement is that God is natural and therefore needs a cause - because everything in this natural universe obeys the law of cause-and-effect. But God is not natural. In the same way that the inventor of a TV is not powered by electricity and in no way depends on the things the TV depends on, God does not depend on the things He created. God created this universe and made it obey the law of cause-and-effect, but that means that God is greater than this law. God is above this law. That's why we call Him _supernatural._ Is the idea of a God without beginning absurd? Well, what do you believe _eternal life_ is? Our soul will exist forever and ever. In all eternity. Without end. Our soul is basically as "eternal" as God - we have a beginning, unlike God, but no end, just like God. Where is the difference between "eternity without beginning" and "eternity with beginning"? There is none. If eternity exists then there does not have to be a beginning. Now think about it logically. Let's reject the idea of "eternity" completely and say everything needs a beginning. For the sake of the argument let's assume God *does* need a beginning. Then someone created God. Who created that someone? Another one. Which was created by someone else. A different someone created that one. And so on. We get a chain of "creations". Where does this chain start? Well, since every link of our chain needs a beginning by our presupposition that eternity does not exist there is no first link. Because if there was a first link then this first link had no beginning, no creator. Right? But if there is no first link, no beginning of the chain of creations, then we *have to* go back to the concept of *eternity.* We have to assume an eternal chain of creations then. It is the only solution. But being forced to accept the concept of "eternity" in any case there is nothing that prevents us from believing the Bible which says "there is not an eternal chain of creations but only 1 link in that chain - only one God!" Instead of an eternal chain we got an eternal God!
