You're not thinking through your assumptions. How do you know that time elapses?
Because the concept works. Tell me how fast you're driving your car and I can tell you when it's expected that you will cross an imaginary line 100 metres in front of you. I'm assuming time can be measured and according to what I see in reality with this example I'll be able to show that the measurement was correct. Therefore it follows that time is real according to reality.

Quote:I don't know what you mean, here. My arguments "don't seem to work for God"? They aren't about God. They're about how we know things.
You consider yourself a Christian. I'm assuming (and desperately hoping) that amongst all this wreckage about not being able to know anything for certain you've somehow come out with the conclusion that Jesus Christ is Lord. Any explanations for this convenient conclusion?
