Well said! Biblically correct and clear.
Of course, if creation were not involved in a time process (according to God's Will), then we wouldn't need to be discussing such things....
The "time" Good took to create the world is not earthly time. The "days" in Genesis are not our days. They are not changes but creations that didn't exist prior to that.
One more thing: time "exists" only in relationship to man. We record changes and with those changes "tell time." Without us, changes take place but no one records them. Time is simply a record, not a dimension.
I agree with that.. i.e. seems logical to me..
In the "Spiritual Dimension"(if there is one) TIME could be thingly..

I used to think of this as you do.
But, it seems that modern scientific observation says otherwise. Time seems to have an effect upon and to interact with velocity, acceleration, mass and gravity.
If it is a fact that it behaves as described above, it would be a dimension, rather than simply a record.
One side sees three spatial dimensions evolving over time. That is the view you have described, kosta50.
The other sees four dimensions - three of space and one of time (space/time continuum.) And admits that there may be additional spatial and temporal dimensions. I hold to this view.
The space/time continuum is a postulate to special relativity, general relavity, geometric physics and physical cosmology.
The bottom line is that space and time do not pre-exist, rather space/time is created as the universe expands. IOW, the universe is not expanding "into" anything.
That the universe is expanding (and thus had a real beginning of space and time) was confirmed by measurements of the cosmic microwave background radiation in the 1960's. It is also known as the most theological statements ever to be made by modern science. (Jastrow)
