So you're saying the conclusion that something with no substance would also have no form is irrational?

No more irrational than speaking about space without time, and time without space. Take away one, you can't have the other.

This puts an interesting philosophical spin on God's existence before (if we can even say that) creation.

No references to space, or time.

Truly, it is profound beyond words.

No more irrational than speaking about space without time, and time without space. Take away one, you can't have the other.

Then it is redundant to say you have neither.
