Yes your world is the same as my world in the cause and effect realm with differences in perspective. By calling it your world I am trying to give the impression that it is the world you percieve around you individually.

I state God is outside time because several references refer to Goad as Light, love, eternal. Yaweh itself means eternal. Defines as without beginning or end of existence; always existing or existing at all times without change; immutable.. [1913 Webster]Cause and effect is a law which resides solely within our known universe. I think we agree on that.(December 12, 2009 at 10:54 am)tackattack Wrote: If God is sentient then he created the big bang and has a perspective from outside time and space...Causation has no meaning outside time since the concept of causation hinges on being able to identify what event is earlier in time. We can only conclude that your remark about creation outside space and time is sheer nonsense.

There is not a thing that comes near to the big bang in the all too common hotel bedside versions of it. And in what bible is the radiation of god described? Is it electromagnetic radiation or particle based?
