Could you give me your definition of time so we can get on the same page as I think I am talking about one thing and you are talking about a totally different thing, or entity.
According to Wikipedia:

Time is the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future.
Note the word "irreversible". You can't give and take time like you can give and take apples. You can't give away all of tour time and have no time left like you can give away all of your apples and have no apples left.

Re: After We Die
Hi ringo,
ringo writes:
The Book of the Dead, the Epic of Gilgamesh, the Iliad and Odyssey, the Tao Te Ching, the Edda, the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Tantras, the Qur'an, the Talmud, the Midrash, the Zohar, the Book of Mormon, Dianetics... and those are only the ones I've heard of.
There are only a couple of those books that talk about the one God. Most talk about many Gods and some were written in the last 200 years. Some are very old and are just like the scientist of those years that gave us a flat earth, except they are classified as religious.
ringo writes:
Chapter one, verse two has water before light, verse two has light before sun and moon; verse eleven has plants before sun and moon....
Water existed eternally before Genesis 1:2.
The universe and everything in it was created in the light period of Genesis 1:1.
The only things created in Genesis 1:2-31 was a special fish in verse 21 and mankind in the image of God in verse 27.
There are only 3 creation events recorded in the Bible.
Genesis 1:1 The heavens and the earth were created. According to the Hebrew verb bar which is a perfect verb the action of the subject of the verb (God) created the objects of verb (heavens and the earth) and they were a completed job. Meaning they were ready to be inhabited by mankind.
ברא is in the Hebrew text 45 times 3 of those I mentioned and all the rest are referring back to one of those events.
אשה is in the Hebrew text 2633 times and none of them are translated created.
That is like time/apples they are not the same they are two different things.
ringo writes:
You know as little about translation as you do about science, so your opinions on the matter aren't worth much.
My professor that taught Biblical Greek and Hebrew would disagree with you. I do have a Bible Language Diploma that would disagree also. I have been studying Greek and Hebrew since 1965 but more Hebrew than Greek, as I am very interested in the Creation of this universe in which we live.
And yes my opinion is only my opinion except where it agrees with the Biblical text.
I do not study to satisfy you or any other human I study to show myself approved of God a workman that needeth not be ashamed but rightly dividing the Word of Truth.
God Bless,

According to that definition time and existence are the same thing.
How do you measure either one?

If there had never been an apple tree there would have been no apples I could use for an example.
There had never been time, nor was there time at T=0 therefore time did not exist.
Now if you had clicked on "Time in physics" you would have got the following:
quote:
Time in physics is defined by its measurement: time is what a clock reads
Which brings up my question how do you measure something by itself.
If you were to check through my posts you would find my definition of time.
"Time is what man invented to measure the duration between events in eternity. By dividing up the duration that it takes the earth to make one complete revolution in relation to the sun, into hours, minutes, and seconds."

You just doubled your problem. Declaring them eternal doesn't solve anything. Two uncaused causes.

Hi Tantle,

Why do I have a problem. I have a God that has an endless supply of energy.
He does not live in this universe. This universe exists in His universe. Could there be other universes in His universe? I don't see why not but He did not think I needed to know that so He did not tell me if there was or not. But He did tell me a lot about the universe in which I live.
Tangle the scientist is the one that has the problem. He can't believe in a God that can supply all the energy that it took to create this universe. He can't figure out how to get around the natural laws that exist in the universe in order for this universe to pop into existence out of an absence of existence. It is not for the lack of trying or spending billions of dollars trying to prove it did. Science still has the problem that showed up when Hubble discovered the universe was expanding. Which required it to have a beginning to exist because of the laws of thermodynamics that an expanding universe that was eternal in existence would have reached thermal equilibrium a long time ago.
So mankind is like a man that is sitting in a vehicle that the drive axel is elevated such that the tires can't touch the ground/road. It makes no difference how long he drives that vehicle he does not get anywhere. He is still at the place spinning his wheels that he was after Hubble made his discovery.
God Bless,

Like you, that would be all of it.
'Eternal' makes as much sense as 'nothing'. Neither have meaning, both are human inventions that we can't understand using normal language, and in your case you just plonk a god in there so that you don't have to think further about it. The uncaused cause - just further back.

Existence has no progress and can not be measured. The only measurement of existence is "NOW".
Duration between events can be measured with the concept of time.
Example:
You go out and place two stakes 100 yards apart.
You want to know how long it will take you to run from 1 stake to the other.
How do you measure the duration between takeoff at the first stake and arrival at the second stake?
