      A creator had to create time. A creator cannot be what they have created. Thus, God cannot be subject to time or consciousness. This is the most simply I can put it.
      Now, how does creator follow from omnipotence and omniscience?

      The Creator is often ascribed as being an omni-God. Realize I am only arguing against this type of creator (eg. Christian God).

      So not "Gods" in general, as the title suggests?

      Any God that is considered a creator. This is a common trait of "God's". Any God that existed before time should not have consciousness.
