Steve, how does a being exist timelessly? And secondly, how can a being have a conscious, temporal thought while in a timeless state? Can you please be more specific in regards to your proposed mechanism? And, as always, don't forget to provide supporting evidence for your assumptions.
God existed timelessly and changeless causally prior to the universe. Atemporal. There was no stream of consciousness or successive chains of thoughts. He knew all truths intrinsically. Really, what would an entity that knew all truths think about?
Depending on your preference between A and B theories of time, you can view God's temporality and the creation of the universe in one of two ways: On the A theory, once God created space-time, God underwent an extrinsic change with the new relationship to his creation and in doing so became temporal. On the B theory, you could conclude that God did not undergo any temporal change (either intrinsic nor extrinsic) and exists outside the block of time.
