There's your problem right there.
It's a lot less of a problem than positing a god that exists 'outside the universe'.
Positing a god that exists outside the universe, is an incoherent statement. The word 'exists' no longer has any meaning.
Existence requires time and space. Since those are attributes of this universe, what does it mean to exist without time and space?
It is completely incoherent.
