How can God decide if there is no time? I was thinking of this about black holes today. If there is no time in a black hole, can anything happen in them?

J.M.E. McTaggart (1908) argued that there is no such thing as time, and that the appearance of a temporal order to the world is a mere appearance.

And then there is the 4D View where objects are thought of as four-dimensional space-time worms, each composed of many temporal parts analogous to segments of an earthworm.

Time as a measure of the numerical order of change was presented by scientists Amrit Sorli, Davide Fiscaletti, and Dusan Klinar in 2011 at the Scientific Research Centre Bistra in Ptuj, Slovenia, That view is that rather than 4D space-time consisting of three dimensions of space and one dimension of time, it’s more correct to imagine space-time as four dimensions of space: the Universe is timeless.
 
I try to imagine God’s central existence as eternity instead of temporal but that maybe He has effects such as choosing to create and being hurt by sin that is kinda temporal. That is my first point. Any opinions?

My second point has to do with the big bang singularity and proving God’s existence. The opinion of my second cousin as he relates it to me is that there was no time in this singuality but that it exploded as its own cause, as a boiling single cause, not needing something to make it explode. My counter is that there couldn’t be such a causation without time. Otherwise, how do we prove God’s existence to someone who doesnt accept philosophy and instead only believes in science? Can science DEFINITELY prove there is a God? (yes this is related to the first point’s point 😉 )

There are two points before decision and after decision even if there is not such a thing as time. There is no before and after in God’s eternal now.
 
How did the big bang break out of its timelessness without God, or can everything besides consciousness be applied to the singularity?

Eternity is not a time. There may be ordering of different events from their creation.
 
There is a before and after of God deciding to create, but it is outside time. What I want to understand is how the First Way holds up with modern theories of the singularity. If an infinitesimal, as a single cause, let out time and space in a big explosion, what proof from motion can there be for God? I wouldn’t apply any perfection to the singularity that would properly apply to a spiritual God, but on the other hand I don’t see how I can prove there is a God to someone who is stuck in only a scientific mode of thought
