that is a flawed thought. God exists outside of time (if you believe him). Thus there was no time when god existed before he created the universe. Noone can accurately grasp this concept. Which makes sense considering that it would only be a concept that someone outside of time could understand.
I made a post about God on my profile that no one commented on, so I might as well just paraphrase it
God exists in a different plane than us (supposedly). This is how he can be everywhere at once, but seemingly no where, and how can he have always existed, because technically although he doesn't exist here, but he's been around at least as long as this plane has. It's hard to say if God experiences time as we do, I like to think of him as either a Dr. Manhattan or Muad Dib type deal though. Either time to him is relative, set in stone, but at any give time he is at any given time. OR, he does experience time in a chronological fashion as we do, it's just he sees everything in advance, or he sees how what he does changes the future. But this is more a broad scope as God would see it for everything, not just him personally.
Either way is interesting to think about. I don't believe in God, but I must admit, thinking about him is really interesting.
