Both Islam, Christianity and Judaism teaches that some literal "God" a supreme, conscious Being who exists outside of nature (transcendent) and before time, created the universe by his will.
To them, it's the reason the universe exist today as a separate artifact while the creator "God" is somewhere located beyond the universe.
The major curse of the existence or creation of religion is the Literal perception of symbolic mythology, cosmology and metaphysical archetypes.
Another major curse of the creation of religion is the linear perception of time and space.
A mind that tries to objectify it's own source is categorically erroneous. That's a logical impossibility.
How do you try to analyze your source, your direct biological expression as if you were an outside observer?
How do you describe the source by a separation from the source?
The entire universe doesn't in anyway depict anything made by some literal persons. That's like using an Ideal or literal craftsman/creator making an object to explain reality.
You can't apply the literal model of the human artist or potter making a pot to understand, innerstand and overstand everything about the existence of the universe. Because you don't try to understand, innerstand and overstand reality by saying there's a subject (a human-like maker) and an object (the universe, it's making).
It doesn't make sense to say "God" existed outside of time and space to create the universe, because 'existing' already suggests being somewhere or sometime.
The idea of God 'existing' before or outside of time and space cancels itself out, because 'existence' is a concept that needs time or space to be meaningful.
The word 'exist' is the problem. You can't use a word that describes a state or condition to talk about something that supposedly came before all states and conditions.
To create is a verb, an action, which requires:
✅Time (a before, during, and after).
✅Intention (a movement from potential to actual).
✅Separation (a creator here, a creation there).
Therefore, to say that a being existed out of time and space to create is to say that a subject performed a temporal, spatial act from a state where time and space do not exist.
This is not profound mystery; it is nonsense. Imagine a dream character claiming it has an independent life outside the dream.
The religious mind imagines "outside of time and space" as a place of eternal stasis, a divine throne room. This is a spatial and temporal concept masquerading as its opposite.
The Absolute is not "outside" time and space. It is the timeless and spaceless ground from which time and space arise. Time and space are not containers God built and stepped into.
Time and space are the primary, relative properties of the manifested world.
The ultimate, hidden reality isn't somewhere else. It's the pure essence of this very moment, before your mind starts thinking about time or location.
The source of everything isn't far away. The source of all things is the concept of being right here, right now, before we label things as 'past,' 'future,' 'here,' or 'there.'
You don't have to go looking for the Unseen Reality. You don't need to look for the very 'itness' or 'what-it-is' of the present moment, before your thoughts divide things up.
Take analogy from a screen. The screen is not "outside" the movie. The movie (time, space, drama) appears on the screen. The screen itself is timeless (it doesn't age with the movie) and spaceless (it isn't located inside the movie's plot).
To ask where God was before the Big Bang is like asking where the screen was before the movie started. The question is meaningless. The screen is the necessary condition for the movie. The screen is the requirements and the reason the movie can be watched.
The Big Bang was never the beginning of the universe. The Big Bang was the beginning for the universe—the moment the timeless, spaceless Absolute began to manifest as spacetime and relativity.
Imagine a silent, dark, infinite ocean. This is the Unmanifest, pure potentiality (Brahman, the Godhead). Then a wave arises. This wave is the Big Bang.
The wave is not separate from the ocean, and the ocean was never "without" the potential for waves. The "beginning" is a perpetual, eternal event. The universe is always being created now.
There is no separation between the Creator and the Creation because the act of creation is the Creator's very being. God is not the painter; God is the painting and the act of painting. God is not the dancer; God is the dance. God is Not Superior to Nature. God Is Nature.
Creation implies a maker and a thing made, reinforcing duality. Manifestation is the process of the One expressing itself in infinite forms.
A human is not a created object. A human is the universe itself, having evolved a complex enough form (a nervous system) to become self-aware and reflect upon itself.
You are not a soul in a body. You are the entire cosmos, localized into a point of view for a while.
The Latin root of "Nature" is natura, meaning "birth, character, the course of things." It comes from nasci, "to be born."
