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.

You don't get to break the rules of logic simply by claiming that something must exist which is illogical. If so, then your idea is itself illogical.
How is an eternal creator illogical?
