Before the Abrahamic God there were many different Gods and Goddesses who are still around and still relevant in our lives (at least those of us in various Pagan Traditions) The Greeks, Romans, Egyptian, Celts, Northern Europeans, etc. all had Gods and Goddesses long before the Christian God.
According to the Bible, the Abrahamic God (of the three major Religions; Christianity, Judaism, and Islam) proclaimed Himself above all others (yeah, right I could do that) The first of the Ten Commandments (I believe) is "Thou shalt have no other Gods before me."
So right there this God is acknowledging the existence of other Gods. So this particular God is really speaking to a particular peoples, not everyone.

An impossible philosophical question!
If time is never-ending, God must have spent an eternity dwelling in an empty universe.
And then all of a sudden, at some obscure point, he decided to create the whole of existence.

Before God became 'god', god slept, in terms relative to a human understanding.

I believe in God and there was nobody before him. He's the beginning and the end the alpha and the omega. Otherwise no.

Since you have spelled god with a small g, I'll bite: which 'god' are you referring to? Which culture? Please clarify.
