So, let me get this straight.

God creates a universe (four dimensions, of which three are spatial). To create a universe, God could not have been inside the universe at the point of creation.

If God exists, his essence is spirit. Does anybody know if spirit takes up spatial dimensions? I would assume it does. Three, probably. If God is able to perform actions, think thoughts, or cause any effect, he must be operating in time, wherever he is. Change implies time.

Therefore, if God caused the existence of our universe, his actions must have a location on his own meta-timeline, surely?

From our perspective, his actions should not be perceived as "constant" or "eternal". Why would it? Why should we not think of God's timeline as running parallel to ours, yet existing prior to ours?

I think that when people refer to God's state of time, they refer to it as meta-time, as if it treats our time-dimension as a spatial one (ie, as a moving/non-moving point on a line). Why is that? What evidence favours the probability of meta-time for God, rather than just plane old time?
