What is with the machine/computer thing? How could a machine be timeless? It is physical. What is your argument? That God could not exist timelessly? Then say that.
Computer. Shouldn't have said "machine" since that indicates some physical structure to it.
My argument is that, outside of time, God is mindless, no different from a computer (referring to software here) with infinite necessary information to solve all problems and run all tasks.
The implication is that, even disregarding the absurdity of a timeless entity moving into time (or creating time), God is nothing more than a computer software that just happens to not be bound by space and time.
