Common self contradiction of the religious

What did God do during that time?

With no peers, no social interaction, how would morality exist without them?

Does eternity make sense without time?

If God created space and time where there was none before, how can we say for certain God is eternal? Does it not make more sense to say God existed, then time existed, therefore God predates time, but is not eternal in the true sense of the word?
