I know that God created time, but if you think logically, there's no possible way that time just started out of nowhere. Of course, this might just be yet another thing that is beyond human comprehension. Sill, give me your opinion and explanation.

I think it is beyond human comprehension. Even eternal life is beyond our comprehension. Yet, we never want to die.
god has always existed. Then he at some point decided to make something. Trillions of years ago. He made his first son.
Jesus Christ. They were together for billions of years then it says by means of him all other things in heaven and earth was created. Millions of other spirit persons he called angels were created Psalms 148:1 says that angels were created.
Then a few short million years ago they decided to make a Universe and then the big bang. Who knows how long to make the earth and sun and stars. Then apmosphere on our earth then plants, then fish and birds, then animals thousands of years later man. Then a women and then things really went to hell.
But I blame adam for that if he hadn't sided with her, God could have just made him another wife. But God's purpose for the earth will not be changed because of something people will do.
One day this earth will be filled with righteous people.
Who will obey his laws and stop fighting.

I think you are struggling with a good question. Let's try this on:
If God created everything, then God had to create "before" (another way of saying this in Gen.1 speak is sun/moon) when God also created time.
I am not sure I follow the think logically / time just start out of nowhere? Why not? Gen 1. Before creation, there was chaos. That feels like non-time just as it was non-order. In the Gilgamesh Epic which also chronicles creation, God slays the chaos monster. non-time sounds like a monster as well. Imagine living w/o birthday chocolate cake?
Hey - fine wrestling job you are on. Kudos.

Time is not infinite, it has a defined beginning and a defined ending. The bible tells us in Genesis that God created time when said 'Let there be light' and the division between light and darkness 'became the first day'. Additionally time will end one way or another, you will hear 1 of 2 things when you get judged by God (actually we all will be judged). 1) 'Well done good and faithful servant' or 2) 'Begone I did not know you'.

Time has not always existed. It is relative to the universe and the movement of it. Look at the theory of moving faster than the speed of light and having a lot of time pass on the earth, but for you personally very little..
God lives in eternity and that is why he knows what will happen in the future..

Time and Space are opposite sides of the same coin. At the moment the Universe came into being, time began. It is impossible to know what came before, since without time, before has no meaning. Check with Einstein, he had a pretty good explanation.

God most certainly did not create time. I'm pretty sure man came up with the concept of using the amount of time it takes for the earth to rotate as a day and the amount of time it takes for the earth to revolve around the sun as a year, and I'm pretty sure that man created seconds, minutes, hours, and the wristwatch.

Time is just a human concept. We could not exist if time did not exist in the way that we perceive it. We are beings that have a beginning and an end. Anything else is not possible for us, in the way that we exist now.

time is one of those things that are above our comprehension, as everyone knows that g-d is higher than time and space, which means that there is no before or after for him.
since we are physical, therefore our minds can only grasp, and comprehend something which is physical, and not beyond. however, g-d on the other hand, who created the whole fact that there should be limitations, is obviously above it, and doesn't affect him

Time has not always existed, but God has
In Genesis chapter 1 we read
In the beginning God created the Heaven and the earth - this was the beginning of time.
God always was, is and is to come!
He is alpha and omega, the beginning and the end.

" if you think logically, there's no possible way that time just started out of nowhere."
Isn't it the other way around?
If time started 15 billion years ago, then we reached the present after 15 billion years.
If time "started" infinitely far back in the past, then we would have never have gotten to the present.
