From a Christian standpoint not having time as a real thing makes perfect sense. It would explain how God knows what is going to happen—it already has. But I’m not physics smart enough to understand this stuff. We are concrete beings and to us, time DOES exist just as beginnings and endings exist. Except, I also can’t grasp the concept that everything didn’t ALWAYS exist (that is, it has a starting point) because seems that if there was nothing there would never have been anything. OK, now my head hurts!

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The Bible does state that God exists “outside” of time (before time began, and will continue to exist after time ends.)

It’s one of those concepts like the Trinity that has always thrown me for loops. I can’t really understand it, I just have to accept it.

I find it interesting that scientists are theorizing that time isn’t necissary for existance.
