We forget that time is a human creation (as we know it). Time is a measurement that, at an astronomical level is paired with space to simply measure (get this) distance and speed. Science has proved that time is relative and gravity affects it only because of speed. Confused yet? Consider the life of an insect that only exists for about a week. If they were aware of their existence, would they perceive life any differently than we would? It is estimated that some dinosaurs (and some reptiles today) lived to be hundreds of years old. This is all simple biology stuff. Time is perceived by the existence of the observer. Imagine a fictional race of beings existing in another part of the universe that, in earth time, live for thousands of years. We would be the equivalent of the insect that only lives for a week. Biologically, there is no reason that cell generation can't continue to sustain a being for far longer than life on earth currently allows.

So to your point, how does God measure "time" when existence is eternal?

If it is true that the expansion of the universe is slowing down, and speed in the universe is a function of time, one could postulate that your comment has merit. Our galaxy is traveling through the universe at a speed. Our solar system is traveling in our galaxy at a speed. And our planet is traveling in our solar system at a speed. Per the theories, could it be that "time" has changed over the last 13 billion years?

If your head is spinning now, see a priest. :o)

Very interesting post….God is eternal, therefore not constrained by time as we are. And since time and space are ultimately the same physical property, He is thus not constrained by space, or as physicists call it - locality - the way we are.

Once matter is indivisible, it is no longer constrained by locality either….

The world’s most accurate clocks are used for one purpose…navigation. Indeed, time and space and their relationship are amazing…and science has still not caught up to the Bible on that.
