but... wasn't WLC a "professional (apologist) philosopher"? How can he say anything about time, which is in the realm of Physics, something philosophers tend to be a bit out of touch with?
the actual state that time exists is the realm of physics. ideas of what time is (a theory and b theory of time) is the realm of philosophy. FYI, he confronts both theories of time. also, regardless of what science says about time, philosophy can impose a specific definition on what time is and explore the possibilities of timeless existence. no matter what definition of time science chooses to adopt, I guarantee philosophy has already created it.
I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with senses, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use and by some other means to give us knowledge which we can attain by them.
