Not part of the temporal universe: God is not bound by descriptors that could in any way restrict. Descriptions using time is restrictive, space is restrictive, and mass is restrictive.

The alpha and omega: Existed before anything (temporal) and will exist beyond anything (temporal). In this case there isn't a before the before since time is not an issue beyond its function in the temporal universe.


Nicely said.

I don't think you understood the scenario. You wish to invoke a mythical being to explain what you don't understand. My point is that no such being is required. Application of Occam's Razor cuts out God.

Now you can continue believing if you want. How could anyone stop you? But atheism/agnosticism is at least as rational as deism.
