The relative differences in the rate of the passing of time by those who experience acceleration at different rates can be derived from the now famous equation:

E = MC2

Actually, this is incorrect. The time dilation phenomenon is derived from the Lorentz transformation equation. The energy relation is further downstream in the development of special relativity.

Besides, time dilation has nothing to do with acceleration at different rates. It has only to do with velocity.

It would appear that Mr. Carter is neither a great theologian nor a great physicist.

Well, Marlowe, two engineers have read this and both of us think that this article is a waste of time. steve???? I believe you have some kind of engineering background.

Well, if you don't know what you are talking about, just throw up some fancy equations or some Bible quotes....

But the guy is right on where it's important. God is outside of time. He is omnitemporal. Christ died so he could interact directly with humans if we only ask.
