According to the Quran, Allah tells us that He is the only creator and sustainer of all that exists and that nothing and no one exists alongside Him, nor does He have any partners. He tells us that He is not created, nor is He like His creation in anyway. He calls Himself by a number of names and three of them are:
A) The First - (Al-Awal)
B) The Last - (Al Akhir)
C) The Eternal, who is sought after by His creation, while He has no need from them at all. (As-Samad)
He always has existed and He never was created, as He is not like His creation, nor similar to it, in any way.

GODMt 28:19 ( the name of the Father and of the Son(Jesus) and of the Holy Spirit)
Ge 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Ps 14:1 The fool says in his heart, “There is no God.”
Isa 45:21And there is no God apart from me,a righteous God and a Savior;there is none but me.
Jer 10:10 But the LORD is the true God; he is the living God, the eternal King.
Jn 4:24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.
1Co 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live.
1Jn 3:20 For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything.
May I ask you, if God had given a scientific statement of creation, how many people of Moses’ day could have understood it? How many people even in our day could grasp it? You must remember that the Bible was not written for only learned professors but also for simple folk of every age and in every land. If it had been written in the scientific language of Moses’ time, it certainly would have been rejected.
It still makes more sense to me to read: “In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.” Who created the universe? God did. He created it out of nothing. When? I don’t know, and nobody else knows. Some men say one billion years ago, some say two billion, and now some say five billion. I personally suspect that they are all pikers. I think it was created long before that. My friend, we need to keep in mind that God has eternity behind Him. What do you think He has been doing during all the billions of years of the past? Waiting for you and me to come on the scene? No, He has been busy. He has had this creation a long time to work with. You see, He really has not told us very much, has He? It is presumptuous of little man down here on earth to claim to know more than he really knows.

"God is outside of space and time"
Oh and THIS is SUCH an intelligent remark!
Hello??? This is an assumption - that's not an argument. You make this claim and then give no evidence to back it up. That just screams out igorance.
He has ALWAYS existed huh? With no cause?
So why can't the universe have ALWAYS existed with no cause?
FALLING INTO YOUR OWN TRAP OF REASONING I daresay! Genius!
You DO need evidence - THAT is common sense. To say otherwise is illogical.

Every effect, has a cause.
We are an effect. If God was the cause, what caused God?
If there is no beginning to time, it goes on forever, so there cannot be an end..., or else it simply does not exist.
We know that it does exist, since we are here. Since there is no end to time, by your logic, God cannot exist. Having a God, requires that time will cease, but you have already proven it can't because it has no beginning.
Therefore, just using your own logic, you have disproved God.

Unfortunately common sense was unfortunate enough to miss you. If god is outside of space and time then what of him existed? he occupied no space? and if there is no time nothing ever can happen.. think about it.. in the time i wrote this a few seconds to a minute elapsed. god never could have created the universe because he never really had any point before it because it never existed. to sum it all up.. you are stupid and one more point for the atheists.

Think about this.
Imagine we were playing Halo, and I was beating you. I tie an arm behind my back, and I still beat you. What would the ultimate challenge for me be? To beat you without even existing. Dude, I beat you, and I didn't even have to exist. I'm that good.
If God is indeed all powerful, then he doesn't even need to exist in order to create this universe of his. You do believe he is all powerful, don't you? You are a good christian?
Then God doesn't exist.

The universe is more likely to have existed ever since beginingless time than the God who supposedly created it.

God as in the CREATOR of all things?
The Creator is also called the Self created one and the Ancient of days.
The Creator is not outside of space and time but created them also.And is a part of them . If you want to assign a living place to the CREATOR it is the Eternal NOW.

is this a question? or are you gathering opinions from us?
well if you ask me, i believe you are right. nobody can prove your statement wrong, since we were'nt alive that far back. but then again, nobody knows scientifically if he exists, then again spirituallity is stronger than physical evidence. for all we know, he may not even exist, as for the Bible was invented thousands of years ago. people back then were easilly fooled. now i'm not saying that god is fake. but if he was, then what?

My common sense tell me that there cannot be a god.If he is there, why is he there? and why did he create the human being? There can be a cosmic power which you call as Supreme being and you give shape to him. All life as you know is due to the process of evolution.. so all your theories disappear!
