Attack of the Theocrats!
What was the time on god's clock when the universe began? Is he a comoving observer? Or does his clock measure metaphysical time like WLC's clock? How does god wanting something make it happen? There must be a law of nature for that. Did god have to create the universe, or did he freewill it into existence? If he had to, then there must be a First Commandment for Cosmic Creators: "Thou shalt create!". What is the source of that commandment? If he freewilled it, he could have not created the universe, and you do not have a full explanation for why the universe exists.
