And if God created the universe, where did God come from? Obviously, by your reasoning, if one is logical, one must conclude that the universe cannot exist.

Hmmm… One should not confuse the ‘natural’ with beyond the natural. To what ‘bureau’ are you ‘applying’ ?

What is the radius of a square?
What do you add to powdered water?
A circle has a radius but we do not apply this to a square (or a square circle) and to my knowledge there is no such thing as powdered water. Are these valid questions?

“What created time, space and matter?” is a valid question.
“How long did it take to create time?”
“How much area do you need to create space?”
“How much did you weigh before matter was created?”
– These questions are not valid.

If a ‘spiritual being’ created time, space, and matter – “It” existed before any known physical quality that we know i.e. time, space, and matter. We cannot apply (or limit) physical qualities to something beyond the physical.

And, therefore, there is nothing of any testable reliability you can say about it. Since testable reliability is based of chronologically ordered perceptions of physical causality.
