That resolves the problem of why the God of the OT seems so surprised at us so many times. I alway thought it was odd that he would get angry over us doing something he knew we were going to do a trilion times infiinity squared years ago.That presumes that god experiences time the same way we do. There are also arguments re: omniscience/free will based on god experiencing time differently than we do. I go with the non-existence argument lately because I'm tired of this one.
You mean this assumes Allah experiences time the same way we do.
Oh, or you mean this assumes Vishnu experiences time the same way we do.
Wait wait, you mean this assumes Thor experiences time the same way we do.
Hold on, got it, this assumes Yahweh experiences time the same way we do.
On second thought, you mean this assumes my invisible pink unicorn experiences time the same way we do.
Makes perfect sense now. Thanks for clearing that up.
