Why we keep coming back to this question.
One familiar object that has no beginning or end is a circle. What if time were a giant circle? We are only consciously aware of existing at one point on that circle and have a memory (whatever that might be physiologically) of only a very small arc of that circle. God, on the other hand, exists at all points of that circle and is always consciously aware of all those points. This gets us away from having to worry about infinities, regressions, causes, and basically looking like we no ideal what we are trying to say. From our point of view, he seems to exist out of time simply because he exists at all time. The real challenge of this concept is who do we support and supply arms to when ethnic war breaks out between the circularismists and the ellipsismists.
