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.
I simply said science is a three dimensional form of observation. The I pointed out anything outside this scope is beyond the purview of science. Then I made examples using time as a measure or dimension that take all of what science 'knows' and turns it on it's ear. Because once a subject becomes lost to time science stops being a tool of precision and accuracy and then becomes a guessing game. This is true even if you take the standard 3 dimensions and put one outside of our ablity to observe it.
Which means 'science' can ever hope to catalog and define a simple fraction of the what is and what was.
Why did I use the word dimension to define time as a point of measure, because the term defines a measurable extent and time is measurable, yet out puts knoweledge outside the scope of almighty science and it's worshipers. Making anyone who lay claim to times and knowledge beyond the abilities of all might 'science' men of great faith.
