Then it wouldn't be eternal - it would only contain the lie, the illusion of eternity.

If the universe is eternal then there was never a time when there wasn't a universe - erasing the need to have it be created.

My view of God doesn't include “Last Thursday-ism” - such is a useless speculation - as all reality would conform to there actually being a reality and existence before last Thursday.

Don't call God a liar. I'm not sure God would like that.

The God of the Bible created the universe. The universe did not always exist.
