Common self contradiction of the religious

[Freedom of thought]

I think a more fascinating question is: how does timelessness work? What is it like to be outside of time?

Not a clue. What do you think?

Presumably, god exists in some form that is capable of action and thought, and therefore capable of marking time.

If God is able to transcend time, even if He is able to mark time, He wouldn't be bound by it.

Was god just one second old when he began to create the universe?

If God is timeless He can't be old.

What if I were to assert that the universe existed in this timeless state you're talking about? Since we can make claims without a shred of evidence like that. Then you'd be in a bit of a pickle. And isn't god omnipotent, and omniscient? Which means he has INFINITE power and INFINITE knowledge. Infinities are impossible right? Religious logic: "The universe existing without a cause is absurd, and infinities can't exist, so I'll propose a being which exists without a cause to cause the universe, since the universe can't exist without a cause, and this cause has infinite in knowledge and power, even though I claim infinities can't exist and those traits don't follow from my argument..."
