Eternal means forever, and again implies time.It can and it can't. It depends on the use. In the theological definition it means not bound by time, not in time, not finite, etc., more concisely: "outside time" or transcending time..
I'll address your religious points in a separate reply.

The logical question then is: At which "point" in eternity did this "uncaused" mover move to create, what caused it to create, and why?
