Changeless"? How did you determine that?

If I may but in: the logic is that change requires time.

Exactly, change cannot happen without time.

Therefore, the First Cause argument comes up short.

Being outside of time implies a “forever-ness”. Any change in that state that causes the creation of something, requires time to have been operative even before the change in the situation occurred, so that change could occur.

Confusing, I know, but that is the paradox.
