Thank you so much for sharing your insights, dear brother in Christ!

For me the most fascinating theories in Geometric Physics posit that there are additional dimensions of time (e.g. Vafa's f-theory and Wesson's 5D2T). The expanded dimension theories are more elegant than the compactification theories based on Kaluza/Klein (i.e. string theories) and simplify the challenges of such things as non-locality at a distance and superposition.

Many scientists become quite unsettled over such theories because as a volume instead a line (an arrow of time) - past, present and future are concurrent. And that of course suggests that cause>effect could also be effect>cause, etc.

But to a Christian that could make perfect sense:

And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world. - Revelation 13:8

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love: - Ephesians 1:4

And I very strongly agree with you concerning Jewish Physicist Gerald Schroeder's Age of the Universe which explains how the universe is both 15 billion years old and also a week old when one considers relativity and inflationary theory along with the observer's space/time coordinates!

God's Name is I AM.

See also C.S. Lewis's Eckwards and Andwards in (I think) The Dark Tower (unfinished...)

Could you point me to a convenient or accessible link to Vafa or Wesson, btw?

Cheers!
