Is The Best Evidence For God Father Time?

[David T]

I will let you do that. If you insist on making statements about god then you might actually want to work a bit at it. Reading wont help, maybe avout 1,000 days in nature can help if you are really stupid like me! Probably cant be accomplished with just 40 days and nights though, thats for exceptional individuals. I have clearly stated that its a perception issue, so one has to adress their perceptions directly rather than reading about them. Kinda like music, we can play the instrument, or discuss and read music theory, but theory has nothing to do with actual playing. This forum is generally all about theory pretending to play music and nothing more. Like pretending we are all on some great nature hike by watching tv.

The very word religion means reunite, reconnect, which if practiced correctly is to go from dualiity to unity, from the perception of existence as a movement in time, to a timeless eternal now. Reality is on the other side of the intellectual representation, one must surrender all in divine meditation to realize ultimate reality, whatever the label you prefer to call it.

 

[Ben Dhyan]

Fwiw, this explanation for the reality represented by the concept of 'time' is simple and straight forward....the continuation of existence..."Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past through the present to the future." ... Time - Wikipedia

Ha ha. What a phoney you are!

What because i said you need a lot more time in nature, and a whole lot less time watching tv or in this case pretending you are in nature? If i chat with an obese individual who writes about physical fittness who is an "expert" because he or she writes about pysical fitness, my questioning of tbe validity of their "theories" might feel to them threatening. All i have said is you might want to get up and walk, or open your eyes and see is all. Thats what a bit of time in nature actually does. You actually may discover if you dared to, that life is bigger than you and your notions of god have been very very very small.

You can't even explain what you're talking about. I got better things to do than waste my time.

Time. Just who is Father Time?

Whether one is rich or poor, everyone must spend time. It's something that happens whether one wants it to or not. It's something that passes before you even think about it. And what is time?

For scientific purposes, it is duration, measurement of distance divided by rate of speed, it is direction.

And when your time is up, then the Grim Reaper comes to take you away.

So who is Father Time? It's part of a dimension of spacetime. It can slow down as we approach the event horizon.

I would talk about Mother Nature, but the atheists seemd to have claimed her already.

So, time exists therefore God exists, specifically the biblical deity? Not following your logic at all.....

Will you stop with the atheist logic ha ha? How many times do I have to say no one can say if time exists, then God exists? There is nothing to prove an unprovable God. It gets horribly boring with what atheists want. If you want some kind of proof like that, then see my thread

Is Pain And Suffering The Only Way To Convince Atheists That There Is A God.

Maybe it will take 24/7 of afterlife spiritual torture to convince some.

I'm saying that God created time. There was a state of timelessness before he did this. He has a relationship with time in that he exists in a spiritual realm while we have the physical realm of length, width, height, space and time.

Moses used a simple yet profound analogy in describing the timelessness of God: “For a thousand years in Your sight are like a day that has just gone by, or like a watch in the night” Psalm 90:4. The eternity of God is contrasted with the temporality of man. Our lives are but short and frail, but God does not weaken or fail with the passage of time.

Compared to God, the time of 14.7 billion years universe that evos believe is just a drop in the bucket.
