Gosh darn, you really think so?

In linear time everything has a beginning and an end. God does not because He is not bound to our understanding of time. This is what is meant by his proclamation of being the Alpha and the Omega. This literally means He started time and He will bring it to a close. If God was before there was time then God was the beginning of the beginning. There was nothing before except God.
It's really that simple? So if I made the pronouncement that I was the "alpha and the omega" and wrote it down in a book like the bible, then I too could be outside of time and eternal? Apparently that is all it takes for your God to convince you that it's so. How do you know it's true? He or his designated scribes say so. Well okey dokey then. Oh, wait a minute. I don't happen to believe everything in the bible is true, inspired, infallible or much of anything else. So I guess I'll need more evidence. What reason do you have to think there is any creature whatsoever outside of time? Real evidence?
