If you say God always existed, why not say the same for the universe? If you say that God is 'timeless', what does that even mean? If there was no time prior to the Big Bang, how was God's relation to time? Is He still timeless now? In this episode we give you a sneak peek into the interesting area of God, time and eternity and conclude our look at the objections from one of atheism's most prolific thinkers to God creating the universe out of nothing.
