As IATIA stated, if existence comes before a god, then god seems a bit superfluous.
As long as there has been 3 dimensional space there has been an inverse square law. I don't grant 3 dimensional space primacy over the inverse square law or the inverse square law primacy over 3 dimensional space.
I don't hold the position that reality came first and then God. Both have always existed. God is simply a necessary condition of an eternal reality that has also always been emergent complex, just as the inverse square law is a necessary condition of any space which has 3 dimensions.
