Thats a big statement because all of those who wrote the new testament were killed for their testimony. No one dies for a fabricated lie
Five million Germans died defending the Third Reich. Do you think Hitler's assertions about Jews, herrenvolk and untermenschen were true?
By your logic, you'd have to do so.

Yeah, he floated around in a timeless eternity until suddenly, he just decides that it's boring, so poof, reality. But here's the problem: if god is eternal then there would have been an eternity of time for him to begin creating the universe, therefore he never could have reached the time that it happened! /theist
