Did God exists same moment the universe did?

If God exists out of time then would not God bin created the exact moment of the universe/time .

Lets see if I can explain this.

Existence(stands for creation of universe or something similar.)

If God exists outside of time then would he not be crumpled into the mere existence of the exact same time of the creation of the universe, hence no time before the existence. If he existed before the universe then time would have bin around. Even if God created time and decided to live in it, then would he not be controlled by a force created by himself, hence making him live in a finite universe. This also lingers on that God wouldn't of existed until time existed, so God must only exist once something exists. Hes probably pretty cool if that is the case, but some answers on this would help. It almost runs into a circular logic thinking about this.

Conclusion, God didn't exist before everything because he/she would have had to exist the exact moment as existence was created or the exact moment time was created.

God is confusing. Not a troll, real answers are better.

Update:

@John Dough- So God existed at the same time ,time existed? If God is outside of time, then there is a singular point in which God came into being and something existed. If time didn't exist then he would have bin created the exact same time , time was created.

Update 2:

@Dr. Mrs- I understand that, this was merely a spiritual philosophical question. Try to imagine a reality where God only existed and time didn't, that would merely mean God was the same time time was/ or existence. Its confusing but once you get your head around , it starts to unravel. Your are correct though that no one can honestly answer this.

@Keyjona- So heaven has time? If heaven exists out of time, then it would have been created the same moment existence was created, correct? There is no nothing before existence, including nothing before God, which God would come at the same time as something. He can't be alone in this one.

@Ononto Smart answer.:)

Update 3:

@Simple Jack- Elaborate

@Suzy- If he existed before time, then he existed the moment time was created. Think about it.

Picturing it in your mind helps. Its hard to wrap mind around but its one of the most complicated philosophical ideas.

@Alice - True, it was more a thought process on this subject. I agree that it is unanswerable .

Update 4:

@Football- Nice answer:). If God always existed though, then would time exist with him? If not then he created the universe and everything all at the same time( Which im not denying). So the universe and God are all at once.

Update 5:

@Football Sorry football, gonna add a bit.

Okie imagine before the universe existed.. 5 minutes before. God is sitting there, then 5 minutes passes and boom, the universe(the big bang) Okie, so god created the universe, but would he not be bound by the hands of time then? If he isn't within time then he would have existed only at the exact same moment the universe existed( There is no before God and god is out of time). So basicaly God does everything all at once(even creating the universe). So God existed the same time as the universe.

Update 6:

@Daddy Dennis . Well your wrong, I don't got money to spend.

    God also exist in Heaven; the universe is not in Heaven:

    God has an infinite number of Sons and these universes are their class room/Laboratory; they are not allowed to play inside(Heaven).

    I believe God existed before time and universe. God can't be bound by time because well God is the creator of everything. God can destroy the universe whenever. The way I think of it is imagine a model of a globe. The globe represents the universe and time is only within that globe and outside of it is God, so my reasoning is that God exists beyong time even now. There was no need for time before the universe was created because we live by time. God doesn't have to live by time. It's just my opinion though anything is possible.

    God existed so long before God created anything that people have no concept of how long that would be

    Nobody can answer this question, because there is no evidence for the existence of God, we don't know how old the universe is, and nobody else was around obviously, so nobody had better try to answer this one, because they will undoubtedly be wrong.

    God created the universe after he had grown up

    he existed before the universe and before there was time. therefore, he created the universe

    I'd have a agree with Dr mrs,there is no way to prove it,in the end we are all just guessing.
