Re-watching Voyager, while the familiar Q says they always existed the female Q states that Janeway is 5 billion years younger so this means that the Q came into existence 9 billion years after the “big bang” (if the universe is 14 billion years old). She doesn’t say her relationship with the familiar Q is 5 billion years old but that Janeway is 5 billion years younger than her…interesting.
the Q aren’t eternal

Who said the Q "always existed"?
“familiar” q did
pointless comment but thanks for playing
When?
exactly, familiar Q even state’s humans may someday not only be like them but exceed them…this emplies an evolutionary process leading to Q existence…in stng we see another species evolving into a nearly god-like state. Q Quin even says they aren’t really omnipotent as familiar Q says. a being can be immortal so long as it isn’t killed (highlander, vampires, etc)
in voyager episode q and the grey
Ah, no wonder I blanked it out.
Yeah, that's kind of insane. Unless the Q continuum somehow exists on a different universal plane?
You're coming in awfully hot for a new member.
Why don't you take some to review the board rules (pinned at the top of the forum), and just get to know the place and how it works.
That's not helpful.
I thought it was strongly implied in TNG that the Q used to be mortal. And that’s why they were so concerned with humanity’s development.
If you’re referring to the Five Ages, that timeline has been made somewhat out of date by further developments in physics. And although stars like our own will disappear in 100 trillion years, white dwarf stars and neutron stars will persist for another ten dodecillion years or so.
VOY also implied this with their talk of the "new era" among the Q.
