God exists out of this universe. Any scienctifc laws of any kind that matter in this universe have absolutely no effect on God. A God can swim in fire and burn in water and fly on ground and walk on air


If something exists "out of this universe" and in no way follows the rules of physics as we know them, call it god or pixies or santa claus, it's useless to bring it to a discussion about biology and paleontology that is supposedly based on evidence rooted in the laws of physics.

Thus your god argument is either circular and logically weak (god's existence and role in creation comes from his defining properties) or basically irrelevant (god's existence and nature can ignore, defy, contradict the world as we know it, and thus everything is possible).

Once you accept the ultimate deus ex machina, everything could have been created 5 minutes ago including your brain and thoughts on the big bang and dinosaurs. Or everything could be an illusion fed to your mind by a malevolent genie, that could change the laws of physics at will tomorrow. But none of those theories are interesting because they add zilch to our understanding: they can come in infinite variants, none of which can be falsified.
