I’ll reply to the earlier comment of yours in a while (time is a fundamental dimension of reality, and therefore affects the fundamental forces), but for the time (sigh) I have right now, do you believe that your god’s act of creation was a momentary event - as in, one initiation, and the rest followed without additional divine input until everything was created?

Without a time separation, your god cannot have multiple actions. With separation between actions, this god is not timeless.

I conceive of it this way (knowing my concept is woefully inadequate and finite and changing):

Not as an "initiation" of creation but creation as a result of its existence. ("When" this occurs is nonsensical outside time.) And not as presenting additional input but as unchanging existence that causes time and the finite corruptible universe - in which things evolve, rise, fall, exist, change form, etc. over time.

Think, if you will, one level above the laws of physics.
