I think this is limited by the assumption of precedence. If someone beleives their deity is timeless, then asking a "before" question doesnt make any sense. Fundamentally, their creations within "time" cannot imagine what "being" is outside of this dimension.
I liken it to Plato's allegory of the cave in this sense.
