If God were not bound by logic he would be able to illogical things like pick up the rock and count to infinity...twice. Since, as I said before, illogical statements like married bachelor and round square aren't really "things" but are sets of contradictory terms, I don't think that logic was created. The more plausible foundation for logic is a reflection of the mind of God.
"The mind of God" that experienced no linear thoughts in its timeless state "prior" to creation (according to his timeless timeline, of course), does not have to "think" to have knowledge, existed nowhere in non-existence because it hadn't created space "yet" (another nonsensical temporal reference), and so is, based on your description, practically indistinguishable from Absolute Nothingness.
AKA: "not real"
But, but! The KCA! [emoji849]
And God having free will is apparently right out the window if he knows everything, doesn't think, and changes into a temporal being despite being changeless, creating the universe basically because creating the universe is what he knows he will do (using 'he' generously, and assuming we're ultimately talking about the Abrahamic creator god).
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
