What is the difference between steady state theory and eternalism?

Eternalism is also different from the Steady State theory of the universe. Those who don’t understand this do not understand special and general relativity properly.) Now it would be foolish of me to make such grand claims without providing any evidence why eternalism is true.

Why can’t a timeless being do anything?

The problem is that a timeless, changeless being by definition cannot do anything; it’s necessarily causally impotent and nonfunctional. Change requires time, and time requires change. This is logically certain. And to create something, one must do something. Doing requires a change, regardless of whether that change is mental or physical.
