Beyond dimensions
This probably should be seen as a reply to comments made by a number of different posters here, so I'm making it a general reply.
Is Einstein's Theory of Relativity, in which we get the idea that time and space "bend" each other, a way to approach an understanding of God? In other words, does God exist in a dimension beyond what we've conceived, one in which time is as malleable as anything else--and perhaps truth and the natural laws of physics as well? We could never conceive of God because we can't really conceive of the dimension (other than in a hypothetical sense). If we could, however, we might see how God can be eternal and thus not needing to have been created, yet also see how the universe itself must be a product of creation.
God may "negate" the need for his own existence in any universe which we understand, but not necessarily in any universe that can be conceived of.
