This suddenly hit me like a brick thrown by the guy from that Stephen King book with the psychic zombies at that girl from the same book.

Lord English Hypothesis on the Existence of a Deity

So, since the universe will presumably continue to exist forever, even long after all the matter is gone, and given infinite time all possible events will occur (Infinite Monkeys and all that), presumably that means God would eventually come into being, and since God can presumably manipulate time, once He exists in the future He exists in the past and all possible moments in the timestream.

Bam.
This assumes time travel is theoretical possible with any configuration of particles.
(it also would be infinitely more likely to create a crazy/evil god.)

I shouldn't be curious about the logic behind this statement, but I am.

Time travel is theoretically possible and would be a snap for an omnipotent god.

...Actually time travel is theoretically impossible. There is no known way it could be done. Traveling backward in time would require breaking lightspeed as far as we know.

Not enough ranting from KK, but his insults and gloats were spot on.

KK and Dave are both so damn wordy that they'd cancel each other out.  The conversation compresses to the high points, because neither of them can get a word in edgewise.  That's my explanation for why I didn't write more and I'm sticking to it.

You suck at them, dave would let KK rant till he has no breath, and then go psycho-worse-than-vriska on his ass.

Umm, not to nitpick, but you might want to look up the definition of an axiom.

It'd be helpful if you pointed to which "comic" you're talking about, but if you mean this one, the wings belong to some random basilisk.  Jade will, hopefully, be along shortly, but it was six months after the story started that we even learned her name.  Jade's always kinda late to the plot developments.
