What Are the Rules of Something from Nothing?

Therefore the universe needs a cause outside of itself, outside of time and space, being uncreated by the uncreated Creator.

There being an eternity does not mean that time stops progressing in a linear fashion. If we're sitting in an eternity right now, that doesn't mean there was literally an infinite length of time in the past. Time still elapses as normal.

Besides, as I've been saying to you for seven stupid pages now, time began with the expansion of our local universe in the big bang. Time as it exists now did not exist in the points before our universe beginning. Hence, the universe has always existed in that its beginning heralded the "start" of time, and it's not eternal.
