What don't you believe? That the view the God exists in timeless existance isn't a well-established one? For some reason I can't copy the section but its at section 3.

Eternity in Christian Thought (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy)

Checking that link, I find:

stanford encyclopedia writes:

3. The Eternalist View

So, beginning with Augustine and Boethius, many thinkers have held the view that God exists apart from time, or outside time.

It seems that the idea of timelessness is part of an evolving concept of God, and it mostly arose after biblical times. There is no indication of such timelessness in the Genesis text.

Could it be that fundamentalism is a kind of liberal theology, reading into the scriptures what the fundamentalists want to believe?

I think we need a theory of theological evolution.

The universe is such a cage.

If the universe is expanding, maybe it isn't really a cage
