Abdu’l-Baha, Foundations of World Unity, p. 52.| Baha'i teachings

Abdu’l-Baha makes an extremely important argument that combines the most advanced science we now know with a vast and illimitable understanding of God:

Thus, if there was a time when God did not manifest His qualities, then there was no God, because the attributes of God presuppose the creation of phenomena. For example, by present consideration we say that God is the creator. Then there must always have been a creation — since the quality of creator cannot be limited to the moment when some man or men realize this attribute. The attributes that we discover one by one — these attributes themselves necessarily anticipated our discovery of them. Therefore, God has no beginning and no ending; nor is His creation limited ever as to degree. Limitations of time and degree pertain to things created, never to the creation as a whole.
