What did god do before he created the universe?

Does the bible explain this at all? What was god up to before he decided to create the universe and earth? Perhaps he made other universes? Or maybe he just wanked the whole time?

Just chilled there for a bit.

A Christian answer i'd expect to hear (Yes I know, I'm very biased and just a general asshole)

The beginning of time is marked by the creation of the earth/universe and thus there was no time before that. Since god is god he exists apart from time, laws of physics, logic and no one can even comprehend how awesome he is, so he could have easily existed before time started.

maybe because he reckons we humans are too simple to comprehend such complex issues and so thought it would be better if we didnt know, just like everything else we dont know, but gave us the opportunity to find out ourselves

I don't think there was a before. I guess the universe stretches for infinity in either direction.

Okay, but then what was he up to before "time"? Sounds like he was just sitting around doing nothing.

If the universe stretches infinitely in either direction, then wouldn't there have to be a before?

My understanding of Christian theology would lead me to suggest that either a: Nothing, or b: Created the Angels, Heaven and expelled the Fallen (the fathers of the Nephelim not included).

You are just begging the question here. The point seemed to me that humans were designed without the ability to fully comprehend the beginning of time.

I bet he fapped alot. According to the bible there was no before. It just says in the beginning there was nothing and then god said let there be light and there was light. Basically, the beginning of the universe was the beginning of everything so before that was just oblivion. I think that might be right.

edit By "I think that might be right" I dont mean I agree with that I just mean that I think thats what the bible says.)
