If there were a creator, what would be their limits?

Thats the answer I wanted. Proof. Our world revolves around proof. Even scientific creation may be proved. What I know is impossible and false, but I know it to be true. It is unfathomable, but I have understood it. It does not exist, yet I have known it. It is far from abstract and yet may never be known.

A low wattage big bang might generate a tepid, and languid universe, a different big bang might generate a universe with only 2 spatial dimensions and an erratic arrow of time. That one might be interesting to watch, but it wouldn't, AFAIK, ever generate life forms.

If this creator was truly unlimited, a hypothetical universe that might tax his/her power would be to invoke a universe that would at it's instant of formation already be infinitely old with the potential for an infinite duration. No idea how to set that one up, and the skill set to do it might be transcendental across any permutations of reality.

Razulxe-Outside of scientology, imagine no laws exist-No beginning, no size, no labor, and no human brain. That may help the complexity.
