Not that I believe in "God" per se, but God has been described as the "unmoved, yet self-moved move." He is simultaneously the mover, what is moved and the move itself. If having a belly button is a sign of being birthed, is it possible that God could have a belly button because he birthed himself? We can say he birthed himself, yet is unborn.
If you say God created man and chickens from dust, what did he create the dust from? They say that in the beginning, God was all that exists. If God in fact did create anything, he must have created it from himself.
On a side note, consider that nothing is actually "created" because time isn't lineal and nothing is static. So what we would call "creation" is perpetual and couldn't be reduced to one event in time. Just a little food for thought...
