Is there life before birth?

The problem is though, that in the Bible, God seems to plan, anticipate and react. A God who is outside of time logically cannot react. Also, there is a problem when you realize that for a God who is outside of time, no temporal marker can apply to him. Note this argument:God creates X.
X first exists at time, t.
Therefore God creates X at t.If the argument is valid, then it automatically rules out a timeless God, because it necessitates a God existing within time.

Oh, we aren't talking about the Biblical God then? I'm sorry. Just out of curiosity, how was I supposed to know that?A God who interacts with every point in time at once is not a God outside of time, but a temporally omnipresent God. An interesting third option that my argument does not address.

No, nobody mentioned the Bible, but they did mention God. Generally, a mention of God means the Judeo/Christian God outlined by the Bible. When one means that God, then the Bible is the source we have to know that God by.

Fine, however you want to put it, that's fine. It's the same thing as what I've been saying.

Yeah, it is what you have been saying, I apologize. Generally, there are two schools of thought as to God's relationship to time. A God who exists outside of time and a God who is everlastingly within time. It was not clear to me up to my first post that you were advocating a third alternative, the temporally omnipresent. It wasn't until after my first post that it became clear that you weren't arguing the Aquinas' classic model of a timeless God. Again, I apologize.

An argument can only be valid and false if the premises are wrong. Are my premises wrong?

Valid points. It is through a limitation in my own experience that I have only heard people refer to the Judeo/Christian God when they mention a divine being only by the name, "God."This is easily resolved. Consider, then, my post not as an attempt to refute yours, but as a statement of my beliefs as to the nature of the Judeo/Christian God's relationship to time.
