> For instance, Genesis states that their god was there from all eternity, then at one point he created the world. Hmmm? It doesn't state anything about what happened before the creation, or where God came from. It starts with "in the beginning, God created the heaven and the earth" (or "when God began to create heaven and earth") and nothing in Genesis mentions any moment or occasion prior to that. Are you thinking of other aspects of Jewish or Christian tradition that aren't derived from the text of Genesis?
