Too many people have believed it for me to describe it as lunacy. Many of them are simply believing what they were taught. I'm not sure what to call it, but not lunacy.
I can understand that. You should have heard the things they used to call me when I used to tell people I didn't believe in god.
Exactly. It all smacks of mankind and his earthly "universe", which has been projected, via scripture, onto their "creator".

That's not for GOD'S benefit; it's for OURS. While God is outside of time, *we* are not.
Yes, He HAD that ability. But having the ability to do something doesn't mean that you MUST use it. Having been born a woman, I have the ability to bear children. But does that mean that I MUST? If so (in YOUR mind), WHY?
God has His own plan. Perhaps doing something other than what He did, wouldn't be...dare I say...logical...
Why "shouldn't" God destroy man by a flood?
LOL! You think how we're living is "hell" NOW?
Why should god destroy man and everything else by flood or otherwise. IF his experiment went bad, he had only himself to blame. He should have fallen on his sword (that is, IF he existed, and IF he created anything whatsoever etc, etc.) rather than the players/victims in/of his little game/experiment.
Why/how would/could god be outside of time? It is Universal.

Who said it was an "experiment"?
God doesn't do things for HIM, He does things for US. Some understand...some don't.
How God could be outside of time is the same way that *you* could also be outside of what you create.
If you create a cake, aren't you outside of that cake?

Good God, there ain't no such thing as time, are you serial?
All of time is a little book you open that has a beginning and end, and you can put you finger on any page you want. I can look back a billion years if I want because there is no such thing as time
Time is an illusion of man, I agree with Einstine.
Yes, man DID give God the pronoun of "he". Ever hear of God referring to 'himself' as 'he'?
Nope, never. Of course, I've never heard of God referring to himself at all. I HAVE heard of things humans imagined what God might say and do, if he could.

There is not one learned person in America who will concur with you. Try holding your breath for 3 mins and tell mere is no such thing as time. You could ask Einstein about time and his theory of special relativity, if he was still alive.
What do you mean by "are you serial?"
PS Ain't isn't a word, and people who use it demonstrate a distinct lack of education when they do so. Just saying

Yea, I quit school in the 9th grade, ain't that a peach?

The facts, as asserted, characterize it as such. Garden, fruit, snake, "free will".
If you build a house aren't you outside of that house? (Rhetorical question in response to your cake statement). Oops, perhaps you might want to retract your statement.

Too bad. OTOH, I quit school after my Masters Degree back in the 70s.
