Not time as relating to your watch, but moments passing by,
It cannot just have started. or you could ask "How long before it started?" Time is immeasurable. It cannot have a point of origen.
WHEN I SAY GOD = TIME IF THAT IS TRUE, GOD HAD NO ORIGEN, NO BEGINNING----BUT HE IS THE CAUSE OF ALL BEGINNINGS. GOD CANNOT EXIST OUT OF TIME, OR THE QUESTION CAN BE ASKED "HOW LONG DID GOD EXIST OUT OF TIME." DO YOU GET IT??? GOD IS EVERYWHERE JUST LIKE MOMENTS ELAPSE EVERYWHERE
DO YOU SEE IT?????

Time is a system humans invented to tell the length of, well time.
And reading your... paragraph? a little more, god exists because time had to have started? Whose to say there was a beginning?
Incorrect logic is incorectttttttt

Time started with the formation of the current universe.
The moment around that point where light started there was time.
If you take the Scientific view, prior to the Big Bang the univers (maybe the OLD universe) was CONTRACTING, moving inward. AT the moment of the big bang that universe started moving outwards and that is the point where time and space starts.
Under the previous concepts of the Steady State there would, indeed, be no point of starting for time.
But under Big Bang we can call that null point a starting point. That point were compression ceases and expansion hasn't yet started as zero, and the first movement outward as one.
The first movement outwards was escaping gamma radiation, travelling at or near the speed of light, so in the first second of time the Universe was between 150 and 186,000 miles in diameter. This is about half the distance to the moon in one second of expansion.
Nothing in the Bible disputes this.
There was a burst of light and it filled the universe, the heavens, forming all there was in the first day.
Science says maybe it took a few hundred years or a few thousand years. But some theories say most of the hydrogen was formed quickly.
As for God, God CAN exist out of time. GOD is eternal, hence there is no concept of time to God.
Under the Einstein concepts, which may or may not be true (Einstein also talks about adapting to a relativistic setting) you must consider the following which has been proven with atomic clocks:
If you are 18 and your 36 year old mother goes on a cruise around Alpha Centauri (the nearest star) at about half the speed of light when she returns you are 38 and she is 37.
She stepped out of time to a major degree.
Science also states that the MASS of the universe is always constant.
So under the New and Old universe theory (Big Crunch and Big Bang or Expanding Contracting universe) times is not a factor.
To the UNIVERSE there is no time.
It is ONLY to the things inside the new universe that time can be linked to a starting point. The point of exhale.
God does indicate that WE are finite in our current form and were denied the fruits of the tree that might make us step outside of time and be infinite.
Hence, time is important to us, but not to God.
If you were INFINATE would it matter to you what time it is!

You are trying to justify God in a scientific way. This is impossible. Logically if you say God=time you must back it up with evidence. You can not.
Physicists accept that time did have a beginning. It speeds up and slows down with gravitational forces and it could easily have an end.
The difference in religious rambling and physics is that physics looks at evidence first and then develops theories. Religion tries to manipulate evidence to fit in with what they already believe.

Why can't Gd exist out of time, especially when He created it. We are limited to 4 dimensions. It is believed that the universe was created with at least 10. So there are 6 that we can't really comprehend.
How does God hear all prayer, especially if a bunch are praying at the same time? I believe He moves in and out of time.

Examine basic quantum physics and the theory of relativity. Having done so get back to us with your opinions on time. There are countless questions about our universe waiting to be answered but we can't just assign everything to some unseen deity.
