[Publius Valerius]

So you are saying that, as a possibility, in the beginning, God created the past.

Eh.

[AMHN]

Why not? In the beginning "could" mean when God stretched forth His creative finger into the pond of nothingness and all that we've come to know, in this universe, leapt forth from that event (event implies time which it should not in this case). Eternity, in theological terms, is not time without end, it is no time at all. The past, present, and future don't exist. It just is ("A Thousand years is but a day to the Lord", not to be taken literally, but figuratively). Time is as much part of creation as you and I. Since God is outside time, how he created it is irrelavent.
