He was there before the Big Bang. He created everything in the universe including time (and all of the other dimensions, whether that's a total of 11 or 21, or whatever it really is). I believe that before the BB there was nothing but God (well, the Triune). But I cannot tell you what "nothing" looks like. I'm not sure it can be explained in words that any of us could understand.

Why can you believe that god is eternal but not believe the universe is eternal? And, of all the creation myths that humans have come up with, why do you believe this particular one? I think the difference between what I believe in and what you believe in is that if you would show me proof of what you believe in, I would change my mind. But there is nothing that anyone could show you that can make you change your mind, so these posts become nothing more than a forum for you to repeat over and over what your "beliefs" are. Throughout the ages, your original question "if not god then how" has been asked about fire, thunder and lightning, birth, death, disease, good and evil, etc.
