Anyway one is in psalms 104:1-2 it says god clothed himself with honour and majesty, and gave himself light, or covered himself; which means he created those parts of himself. If he already had it before, what need would he have to give it to himself again? So this scripture, and others like it reveal that god actually created parts of himself.
And I am giving the evidence that I have as I go; that's all I can do. If others don't view it as evidence, what can I do?
Wait, if you didn't intend on using the Bible, and you have many scriptures to pull from, why was the first example out of your bag a Bible verse? You say you're not Christian, but all signs point to it. How about another 'scripture' verse that's non-Biblical that would point to '[G]god' creating parts of himself? Or how about explaining how this god creating parts of himself is a better explanation with better evidence than a universe always existing? I'll be the first to tell you that I have no idea how the universe came to be or if it was always there. I am happy to not have all the answers right now. You are claiming to know the answers despite a profound lack of evidence.

We know from carbon dating and the laws of entropy that the universe has not always existed.

Complete rubbish.
The Bible gets some things correct, historically. And it gets many things wrong.
I could list them if you like.
Same with archeology. I could list these too.
By the way. Homer's Iliad and Odyssey get a lot of history and archeology right, too. Heinrich Schliemann used stories in them to find Troy, which was thought to be pure myth before that.
Does the finding of a real Troy prove that Zeus existed?
We found king nebuchadnezzars castle and he was recorded in Daniel 4th chapter of the bible;

A stunning find.

Why would a God designing Adam and Eve need to recycle fly or fish DNA? He created all the heavens, with billions of galaxies, each with billions of stars, but suddenly he needs to start recycling bug parts to make people? That's suprisingly lazy.
Right, commonality of DNA is evidence of evolution. If we all had unique, non-overlapping DNA, that would be something.
And we share about 25% of genes with rice and 18% with Baker's yeast. God sure was frugal! Fucking plant DNA in our bodies! Plants and fungus! Jesus, what was he thinking?
He was at least thinking, evolution and nature cannot even think.
