The problem is that you insist X must be separate from whatever exists. However, there is now a new system: "whatever exists + X," and you anyway need to explain how this new system originated.
X being separate from whatever exists is obvious, as it originated all things in time through it's power and will. It is eternal, while everything in time is not eternal, and it brought into being, it being the original definition of true existence, the whole universe depends on it's existence and power to exist.
Special pleading is illogical. If something can be eternal, then just say the universe itself may be eternal. Why add Santa Claus to the picture? If nothing may be eternal, then stop asserting that there is something which is eternal.
See? If nothing is eternal, then God cannot exist. If something can be eternal, then the God idea is not needed.
