As far as Gen.1:1, I quoted it, so how is that making up anything, how do you see it read?
You did indeed quote the passage, but you also imposed your interpretation of the words to shoehorn the notion of "God" beginning time into it, where no such interpretation can safely be drawn from the text as it stands. Were I to do this sort of thing, I'd probably be called out on it with protestations of "but that's not what the text says/means!!!" or "you just don't understand!!!", and rightly so.

Please don't tell me what I can and can't say; I know you mean well and all that but I certainly can say it didn't happen should the context warrant it. However I don't need to in this instance, since that's not what we're chewing over here.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
