God (and a first cause) is not material. Therefore does not have to have 'space' to contain him. Nor does he need 'time' that is a necessary dimension of a series of causes/effects because why would an omniscient God be in some sort of continuous state of changing to mark the passage of time? He would just exist timelessly between any decision to act.
Yes, I know that is what you believe.
As I said earlier, you are then defining the word "exist" in some very incoherent way that you need to clarify. Just repeating that your god 'exists' in some special way that doesn't require space and time, tells me nothing, and begs so many questions, I don't know where to start.
I'm not defining anything. It is what the argument produces: a first cause must exist beginningless, timeless, immaterial...among other things.
