The belief is that God is not bound by the dimensions of time and space, so it doesn't work the same way where He would just be sitting there bored, doing nothing for years and years. Personally I think there is/was much more out there than this universe. I definitely think there was more before the big bang.
But, Cathy, look, wouldn't you agree that whatever you argue is out there, outside the universe, must by definition be included in the universe once it is discovered? Wouldn't the term universe include everything you know or can know or dream up, even "God" or the place he resides in(if you're right about that)?
See, I've said this again and again. This is about definitions. It is a failure of communication. We are merely arguing about language, when we really get down to it. But the thing is, the language you're using is outdated, simplistic and mundane in the extreme.
