I believe there was never "a moment" where the Creator wasn't creating the universe. The reason is because time starts at point zero. This is true from the point of view, that time is finite. If we know time is finite, then necessarily, going backwards, you can ask, if all "now now" is preceded by cause, why is time zero an exception? This makes it seem more plausible to me, that time was created by a timeless being. Ofcourse, this is far from definitive proof.
Of course, when people say universe is eternal, they don't mean timeless, they mean going back with infinite time. But I believe both science and philosophy has disproven that as possible.
Unfortunately, all these arguments combined with my faith, has not made me certain. I am agnostic. And as much as I want to worship the Creator, I can't help but think "if he didn't earn his praise, then earned praised of humanity is greater".
Although my whole being tends to worship the Creator regardless of this stance. Hence intellectually I am agnostic non-naturalistic atheist, but instinctively agnostic worshiper (much like how a nihilist yet has pride).
Confusing times I am going through.
