Perhaps we only perceive it flowing in one direction only because we're in an accelerated frame of reference with respect to time.

An "accelerated frame of reference"? LOL.

We "perceive" time as flowing forward because that is the nature of time, the reality we live in.

God created time, days and seasons.
We perceive time not only in our personal frame of reference but on EVERYTHING outside of of ourselves as well. Everything has a shelf-life, gets old, a period of reckoning and we SEE this. That is the definition of time.

Nope. It's because of our nature. Time has no nature. We manufacture the present.

The 'knowledge of good and evil' is also the knowledge of 'before and after'.

I believe in God as much as you do, Jorge...but I don't pretend to fully understand either Him or His creation.

I'm glad you think you've got it nailed down, however. You go, dude...

Yes, well, we "perceive" the earth to be flat, too. I mean, just look around you! Isn't it obvious?
