Any "God" had to exist in time

False.

Time is a measurement based on the supposed separation of
beings, things, objects.

God-Consciousness is the Consciousness of the Oneness of All and Everything (in which only Eternity exists--and NO
sense of time)for the reason that there is no separation and
NO sense of difference or distance between anything whatsoever.

Paradoxically God also exists IN Time as that which lives
all and everything.

Your reasoning is based on egoic existence, Solon, as if nothing else exists. Even relatively traditional psychologists such as Maslow and Jung would disagree with that.

Namaste!

Jim

Being a strict materialist and someone who claims to prize logic and science. I would think the kinds of statements you make should cause you to blush.

"The building blocks of the many "things" which are in the universe are tiny tiny particles which have movement......These facts have nothing to do with questions of ultimate origin.
"

I totally agree! Since we have been discussing ultimate origin; why aren't you posting relevant arguments? How does "tiny tiny" help to explain the existence of "things". Scientists can and do trace the effects in the universe back to an ultimate beginning. Some people want to bring in spontaneous generation at that point to rescue them, others simply posit infinite regression of a finite universe. Both of these answers are unscientific and illogical.
