Let's see then...
Quote: all knowing,How does "Time" 'know' things? What do you mean by "time is all knowing"? Clocks are super-intelligent? Are you telling me that Big Ben knows where we live? How can time itself 'know things'?
Quote: no begining no endHow do you know that it won't end? How do you know that time won't stop passing?
Quote:is everywhereWhere would one find it? Isn't time what has passed, what is passing and what will? Does it even have a location other than our own concept of if passing? If it exists at all it exists as what has passed, what is passing, and what will, right? And I'm not sure that that counts as existence?? Is that something that can really...'exist'?...what 'has been' and what 'will be'?
Quote: is all powerfulAll powerful in what way? What do you mean? It is omnipotent? Time is something that can do anything? I don't think time is a thing is it? It's not something hence, in what sense does it exist? I ask. See above.
Quote:nobody understands etc.You mean 100%? We don't understand anything 100%, or at least if we did, how would we know we did?
There are theories of space time and the like (I don't really know much about them), we certainly understand it to some extent. But in what sense do you mean?
The questions about whether time is really a 'thing', whether it's something that can exist - I really would like a response to from whoever, I've talked about this before - with mixed viewpoints.
