Existence exists, always has existed and always will exist?

One way this could be is by infinite time theory. But this also would mean that everything has already happened in every way possible beforehand. Yet we all would be totally obvious that it did.
Another opposing theory is one or more God(s), Infinite immortal all powerful all knowing supernatural being(s), created everything.
SO FOR THIS TOPIC, WHICH IS MORE LIKELY AND WHAT IS YOUR REASONING?
Existence exists, always has existed and always will exist?
Or
One or more infinite immortal all powerful all knowing supernatural being(s) created everything?
(Is it also possible that neither is correct.)

Do objects move because time exists, or does time exist because objects move?

Then that would mean any God(s) that actually exist would be limited to working inside the confines of the universe.
It is the same thing, noise, like time, is an irrelevant concept if no one is there to register it.
The existence of Man gives relevance to a great many concepts that, while they would exist, would have no meaning otherwise.
If time is infinite, then there can be no beginning and no end, thus those infinite parallels could have come into being at any time. Thus, all that ever was and ever could be must exist at the same time.
If that were the case, then somehow we would have observed such, since there would be an infinite amount of them. Since we haven't, I conclude that there cannot be an infinite amount, thus the universe is finite and time bound.
Time has to be measured or recorded by someone for it to have any meaning at all.
A man lives 200 years - a finite span.
Aside from recording his observations for other finite beings to learn from he cannot conceive existence without limit - at least I can't. The entire open ended concept of God is something I have trouble with. Using I AM as the foundation, there had to be, from my human finite perspective, a time when I WAS NOT. TO BE suggests there was a time where NOT TO BE was the condition.
Again, this is a finite argument placed against something infinite that human minds may not be able to mentally fathom. I'm honest enough to admit that I don't know everything and that not everything can be rational.
It's the nature of infinity. Infinite time means that there was no start and no end exists, thus all time must exist simultaneously. You cannot have a progression of time unless there is a beginning. An infinite universe means that every conceivable permutation exists somewhere - it's infinite - and exists at the same time.
My opinion: If all life was obliterated, existence would still exist and changes would still occur. "Time" would still progress although no life would exist to recognize it. Eventually, new "life" would be created.
In our experience of time, the past is the past, the future the future. Why would every possible permutation currently exist?
