I'm more of a theistic evolutionist than a "creationist" per se. But I'll take a go at this.
Time does not predate or precede the universe, according to the cosmological model of existence associated with the Big Bang.
As such, if an extra-universal intelligence is responsible for the existence of the universe, that intelligence exists outside time, and does not experience it. A temporal concept such as "long" is meaningless to a being that experiences existence as an ever-present eternity.

It's called the Great Creationist Paradox;
Creationists' have a great deal of difficulty believing that something as complex as the universe came from absolutely nothing But have no difficulty at all believing that whatever created that complex universe did.

I'm not a creationist but a physicist...
Before God created the world, there was no time, so you cannot say he "suddenly" decided to create the world.

God is complete in all ways and needs nothing. God created a Son to share his knowledge and love with and everything went on from there. All out of love. And in the last days will come the ridiculers with their ridicule.

First, why must you persist in talking about God creating the universe? Jesus gave us the correct account of creation in The Apocryphon of John, not Moses in Genesis. Jesus tells us that satan created the universe, not God. In any case, we are not told what his motivation was, entertainment maybe?

What a fine question!
Perhaps this universe is rev 5.3.
Yeah, what's an omnipotent entity doing sitting around in no-space/time for indefinable eternities doing nothing? Waiting for parts to arrive?

Remove the concept of Time from your head when you think about that. There is no yesterday, today and tomorrow with God. He is the I Am. It's always 'now' for God. There's no passing of time. He sees the future as clearly as we see now. Time only exists within nature.

From the Childrens Catechism:
Q- Why did God create you and everything else
A- for his own glory

Can the universe be god?

Why do we assume we were the beginning of his work or even the end of it?
Universally speaking, earth is pretty insignificant!
