If god existed before time, then there was a "time before time", if time began when god created the earth, then all of the time before that was the time before time. I think I see our disconnect GC, I'm just reading the damned book, you're reading into it. Perhaps you and Frodo should have this conversation. He's of the opinion that genesis is not a literal account of creation (he's right), that its a narrative to do with function and purpose (also right), I know you'd blow a gasket, but he comes back full circle for you, in that the function and purpose somehow involves god (and there's the left turn into fantasy land).
I'd even take frodo off ignore to watch you two settle it, the True Doctrine, once and for all.
God is eternal, has always been eternal and will always be eternal, therefore time means nothing for God. He never has existed in time because there was no time, God created time, there are probably more ways to state this but I think you get the jest of what I'm saying, No Time Until God Created It.
You should not have Fr0d0 on ignore you could learn a thing or two from him. As far as a debate with Fr0d0, he has his reasons to believe what he does just as I have mine and I see no need in a debate on this sudject between two christians that claim the same Christ as saviour.

Remember, your god exists outside of time, therefore there can be no beginning.
My reply to you is the same as my reply to Rhythm, read that and you'll have your's.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
