In the Star Trek Universe where did the Q come from? I mean before they were Q in the Q Continuum? In Star Trek Voyager you learn that the race is somewhat intolerant of individualism (in the episode of the Q Civil War) but Q also suggest they have always been Q. Is that statement true, have the Q always been the Q? or were they a race that evolved into omniscience?
Answer
They are a race that became sufficiently advanced. They're likely one of the first races, and their technology advanced over a very long time.
It's entirely possible that they then traveled time and wiped out evidence of their prior existence, and began living outside of time.
If the Q existed at the beginning of time (thanks to time travel) and still exist at the end of time, and can visit any point in the timeline, it's not inaccurate to say they "have always existed and will always exist", despite there being a time (in THEIR timeline) when they did not exist as they are.
Also, I don't think they posses omniscience - they've just been around a Really Long Time.
