The Bible says "In the beginning", YET we know that God HAS no beginning. Ergo, God existed before creation Interesting concepts, FK. God created the world (gave it 'existence') but God remained in the unchanghing eternity. We assign existence to the created; we can't assing the same characteristic to the uncreated.
Yet, the bible tells us that God is "active" and activity is incompatible with changelessness.

Yes, God gave the world its existence. And, I don't think any of us can say for certain what the deal was before creation. Except, that I assert there was active love within the Trinity. I would say that active love requires existence.
