It always bakes my noodle to consider how an Eternal God, whom is infinite, chose to create a universe at a finite point (NOW there is universe).
What was he doing for infinity before he decided NOW was the time to do it... what changed that made God decide "now" was a good time within infinity. In order to change his mind, that requires a change of some sort, but by definition, God cannot change, as it would render previous incarnations less perfect, or wrong.
When you stop and think about this "outside of universe and eternal" concept, it melts your brain from a logical standpoint.

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
