Isn’t it amazing how a weak case is first made for a deity, and then fantastically self-contradictory bridges are built around that case to their deity of choice? All the while keeping the paradox of their “unchanging” deity causing spectacular change at a finite moment, unresolved

I just want to know what was God doing when he wasn't creating. I doubt I will get an answer.

The moment something changes what it was doing (or not doing) is the moment it ceases being changeless, and therefore ceases being timeless.

The moment of creation is such a moment. For the creator and the created. This is the unresolved paradox.
