And when God asks Himself the question "Why have I always existed,
why haven't I always not existed?" what answer in his omniscience
does He come up with?
The neoplatonist conception of God does not allow It to ask such a
question.
Nor does Arithmetical Truth.
God has no self-reference power at all, as this would make it
inconsistent.
Still defending the Christian God, aren't you?

> God is the uncreated infinite intelligence
There was once a patent issued for a combination rat trap and potato
peeler and people laugh about that, but using the exact same organ
for both excretory and reproductive purposes does not seem very
intelligent to me either, much less infinitely intelligent. And
putting the blood vessels and nerves for the retina of the eye in
front not in the back so the light must pass through them to get to
the light sensitive cells also does not seem very smart; no engineer
in his right mind would place the gears to move the film in a camera
so that the light must pass through the gears before hitting the
film. That's not the sort of thing you'd expect God to do, but it's
exactly what you'd expect Evolution to do.
