Question

What is God/gods doing before the creation of the entire realm, dimension, universe, earth and human ? How old is God/gods ?

Answer 1

Yahweh is eternal, from everlasting to everlasting. Without beginning and without end.

   1Timothy 1:17   "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen."

   1Timothy 6:15-16    "which He will bring about at the proper time—He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen."

   Revelation 10:5-6   "  Then the angel whom I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to heaven, 6 and swore by Him who lives forever and ever, WHO CREATED HEAVEN AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE EARTH AND THE THINGS IN IT, AND THE SEA AND THE THINGS IN IT, that there will be delay no longer."

   Isaiah 44:6   "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts:

‘I am the first and I am the last,

And there is no God besides Me."

   John 1:1 tells us that God was not alone before He created the universe, Jesus was there as well. Genesis 1:1 speaks of the Spirit hovering over the waters. God the Father, Jesus and the Holy Spirit were there before the creation of the universe. The Trinity existed in perfect harmony and flawlessness, having all they needed in one another.  

Answer 2

Any god or gods do not exist.  They did not create humans or anything else in our world, so therefore they couldn't be doing anything all for they did not exist.  And today, they still do not exist.  They are just something some people need to explain what they don't understand or what they fear.

Answer 3

God is as old as the human race. man created god, so that's how old god is.

Dustin, there is already proof god doesn't exist, Because there is no proof he does exist. You prove he does exist and I'll be a believer. OK? I couldn't imaging being so clueless about life, man how do you do it?

Answer 4

I love this question.  My theory is that God does not live in "time". rather he lives in a different realm called "eternity". Einstiens theory of relativity in short explains that "time" is relative.  Time dilation is the phenomenon whereby an observer finds that another's clock, which is physically identical to their own, is ticking at a slower rate as measured by their own clock. This is often interpreted as time "slowing down" for the other clock, but that is only true in the context of the observer's frame of reference. Locally (i.e., from the perspective of any observer within the same frame of reference, without reference to another frame of reference), time always passes at the same rate. The time dilation phenomenon applies to any process that manifests change over time.  So God was not really doing  anything at the beginning in the sense that in eternity, there is no time relativity like such we experience here.   2 Peter 3:8–9 reads:

"But do not forget this one thing, dear friends: With the Lord a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day."

Did time have a beginning? Isaac Newton, whose disquisitions on time and space in his Philosophiae naturalis principia mathematica became determinative for the classical concepts of space and time which reigned up until the Einsteinian revolution, held that it did not. Although Newton held to the traditional Christian doctrine of creatio ex nihilo, he did not think that the beginning of the universe implied the beginning of space and time. Notoriously Newton held that prior to the beginning of the universe, there existed an infinite duration devoid of all physical events, a beginningless time in which at some point a finite time ago the universe came into being. For Newton our familiar clock time is but a "sensible measure" of this absolute time, which, he says, "of itself, and from its own nature, flows equably without relation to anything external, and by another name is called duration." {1}

The prospect of this empty, beginningless duration prior to the inception of the universe has seemed scandalous to many, since in the absence of anything which endures it seems bizarre to maintain that duration itself exists. But Newton would have agreed wholeheartedly! Those who envision Newtonian absolute time as pure duration unrelated to and ungrounded in any substance or as itself an enduring substance have not yet comprehended Newton’s metaphysical views. For Newton conceived of absolute time as grounded in God’s necessary existence. In the General Scholium to the Principia, Newton observes that "It is allowed by all that the Supreme God exists necessarily"{2}—indeed, Newton held that "All that diversity of natural things which we find suited to different times and places could arise from nothing but the ideas and will of a Being necessarily existing"{3}—"and by the same necessity he exists always and everywhere."{4} As a being which exists necessarily, God must exist eternally, which Newton took to imply immemorial and everlasting duration. He writes,

He is eternal and infinite . . .; that is, his duration reaches from eternity to eternity; his presence from infinity to infinity . . . . He is not eternity and infinity, but eternal and infinite; he is not duration or space, but he endures and is present. He endures forever, and is everywhere present; and, by existing always and everywhere, he constitutes duration and space. Since every particle of space is always, and every indivisible moment of duration is everywhere, certainly the Maker and Lord of all things cannot be never and nowhere.{5}

Because God is eternal, there exists an everlasting duration, and because He is omnipresent, there exists an infinite space. Absolute time and space are therefore contingent upon the existence of God. As Newton elsewhere puts it, they are "emanative effects" of God’s existence.{6} Thus, for Newton the beginning of the universe does not imply the beginning of time because prior to the moment of creation there existed God, infinitely enduring through beginningless ages up until that moment at which He created the world.

Newton’s conception of absolute time scandalized his continental contemporary Gottfried Leibniz. On Leibniz’s preferred relational view of time, there are no instants of time in the absence of changing things; hence, given God’s immutability, time begins at creation and God’s eternal existence is to be construed in terms of timelessness.{7} In his celebrated correspondence with the Newtonian Anhanger Samuel Clarke, Leibniz confronted Clarke with the following conundrum: Why, if He has endured through an infinite time prior to creation, did not God create the world sooner?{8} Leibniz presented this challenge as an objection to Newton’s substantival view of time, but it is, in fact, an objection to time’s past infinity. The substantivalist who believes in the finitude of the past will find the question malformed, since there are no emp

Answer 5

You'll have to ask him.

Be ready for all the sarcastic remarks from atheists claiming that religion is nonsense.......that seems  to be about their only way to try to disprove God's existence....

Answer 6

1. Playing Solitaire

2. Almost as old as John McCain

Answer 7

those questions are irrelevant.

but since i am a stickler for answering the question posed.

1. only G-d knows what he was doing before.

2. G-d is infinite and the concept of "age" is a human one that limits our understanding. we need to start thinking outside the human box and start thinking in G-ds terms to be able to understand these things.

Answer 8

It's the other way around--what were humans doing before the creation of gods/God?

Answer 9

Before God got around to striking out with Homo sapiens--God's biggest mistake-- he hit a few home-runs with the Vulcans, Romulans and the Klingons who have progressed far beyond our pitiful technology and didn't have to drown them like rats in a flood either because they turned vile and wicked!  

How's that?

How old is God? Well since God's actually a Lady, she doesn't reveal her true age to anyone and usually fibs by a margin of about 50%.

I decided to ask God personally as she is the only one who could answer your question and she said "You tell me how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, and I'll tell you my true age." I guessed "Three" and she said "Why three, why not four, five, infinity?" and I said "Dunno, sounds like a nice round number." and God said "Well, bloke, if you want a nice round number try ZERO stupid!"

That's the correct answer: ZERO.

Angels aren't allowed to dance, it's a sin!

Answer 10

God/gods were created by humans so god/gods are as old as the first human to come up with the god/gods idea.  

Answer 11

Probably going on about their lives.

I find it funny that someone will claim that "gods" are used by people to explain something they don't understand, when that person clearly doesn't understand what "gods" are for even a majority of cultures.

Does that make it a self-fulfilling prophecy?

Answer 12

God is enternal and infinite.

If only we really knew all of lifes questions.

Answer 13

I wanted to know that answer when I was five.  Then I figured out that any answer is just someone's opinion/guess/theory.  Unless God/dess approached me directly, I'm not likely to have a reliable answer.  

Answer 14

That depends on your tradition of faith.

Jews and Christian and Muslims believe that God always was and always will be.

Most pagan paths believe the UNIVERSE always was and will be and the gods were born of it. The myth to THOSE creation stories obviously vary.

Answer 15
