Before God created existence, there was no existence.
If God was an existent entity, then there was already existence before God.
So the thing that created existence could not have already existed.
Is this sound?
Theologians would say that it's valid but not sound.
That is, given the premisses as written, the logic works -- therefore it's valid. However theologians don't agree that God is "an existent entity." So for them it's not a sound argument.
