We no nothing of atemporal existence, and if you are proposing that a god could exist in this manner then what is your reasoning? I would assert the contrary that an atemporal Entity (whatever that is becuase it cannot be conceived of), would exist in the absence of time, not somehow above and beyond time; thus be frozen, and I would probably be right, based on all we know about the universe.(March 3, 2011 at 12:00 am)Captain Scarlet Wrote: it would be quite nice to hear how this atemporal frozen god can act.Frozen?? The way I understand it it's the other way around. We're frozen in time/ 'constrained', whilst an atemporal entity isn't bound by time. The atemporal entity is free to act in time and out of time, it is not constrained. Atemporal and temporal are not mutually exclusive. Only temporality is limited.
