“With clocks we measure the numerical order of motion in 3D space,” Sorli told Phys.org. “Time is 'separated' from space in a sense that time is not a fourth dimension of space. Instead, time as a numerical order of change exists in a 3D space. Our model on space and time is founded on measurement and corresponds better to physical reality.”

don't be dense.

If side deity was reported to walk among us 2000 years ago (a measure of time outside the scope of 'science') then science is restricted by time however you want to classify it.

Say . . . what?  Yeah, maybe I am dense.  That made absolutely NO sense.
A "deity", according to some books of fables, supposedly walked on the planet 2000 years ago.  We understand 2000 years very well.  That's time.  It's a numerical measure of the earth's rotation.  Yes, science is restricted by time.  Every creature, every plant, the earth itself, the solar system, is measured by time.

This does not make time a 4th dimension, it is a measurement only.  And that measurement provides absolutely no data applicable to the existence of any deity.
