I find the idea of an age before this one very plausible and it answers some difficult questions. We know we will have an age after this one - why couldn't there have been one before this one?

Yeah.....I never had a problem knowing that the Lord had no beginning (existed for all eternity) because time is a relative thing based on a physical reality. Whereas God exists in a spiritual realm where there is nothing to measure time....thus no beginning or end.

But, when told that this physical thing we call the universe is only 6000 years old......it makes me wonder why it took God so long to get around to creating it. Just what has He been doing in the ageless past?

I think you already know this, but if God transcends time itself, then in what way is your question meaningful.

The real question, as far as I'm concerned, is why he created at all...
