Very well then, though ὡσεί (osei) does not have to mean "about," that is probably what he meant to say. The way of reckoning used by Matthew and Mark is called "exclusive," and means "on the seventh day." Speaking of the "eighth day" means the first day of the next week and is "inclusive" of the previous week.

Okay, the answer to your question is simple. First, it should be noted that the Bible nowhere states that God had a creator. The answer is in the asking. By definition that which is eternal does not have a creator. To be eternal means to always exist. One that has always been cannot have "come into existence."

"Infinite" means "without limits" (in ("un") + finite). Each individual human is "finite" -- limited in size and power. If God were a created being, he would not be infinite. He would be bounded by whatever caused Him to come into existence. The universe, created by God, is finite, with boundaries within time and space.

Simply put, God "is." When asked for His name, He said "I am. " He says in the first commandment: I am Yahweh ("He who is") your God, using the name Moses records for the creator of the universe. In the fourth commandment this is confirmed. Finally, near the end of the Bible, this is confirmed to John:

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. -- Rev. 1:8"
