what does being outside of time mean to you? being retarded?

Imagine a dvd representing the whole of time. now imagine on that dvd you know it's contents like any favorite movie. now take the dvd outside the player and place it on the table. You are now outside the "time line" of the dvd. did you suddenly become retarded (anymore than normal I mean?) What I am asking now just because you do not live at any central point on that dvd does it mean you know any less or more of the history on that dvd?

Now to answer a couple others with the same analogy imagine on the same dvd everything had a creation or birthing point of some kind. Now if you created the DVD would your creation then also be required to be on that DVD? No As you and your origins are pre time. As I said the DVD contains all of time and if you have it then you are outside of that time line, that dimension.

You're not describing a 'timeless' being but one that has it's own time/space in which to act. If our time/space require a creator, so does the time/space of the creator you're envisioning.

Since for our cosmos, time began at the point when inflation began, a creator is counter-indicated, since as you've pointed out, time is a prerequisite for creation.

Melissa, as we said last time, this isn't the place for you. You need to go to a Christian forum or better yet, go to your pastor. This is an atheist forum. You won't find what you're looking for here.

She's in the right place if she wants to see if her beliefs stand up to scrutiny.
