God is prior to the universe.
That is, ontologically speaking.
The Supreme Being is before the universe. By definition, of course.

Nobody is forcing you to adopt that philosophy. There is nothing wrong with
your common sense philosophy.

But if you wanna talk about God as the Supreme Being, you need to know how.
Basically you need to learn a new language.

If you are talking about the theistic God, it probably does not exist.
But as I said, God does not have to exist in the way expected by you.

We cannot believe in miracles anymore. We cannot believe in the
supernatural anymore. So, what is your understanding of God that does not
do miracles and is not a supernatural being?

What is this "atheistic" God?
