In a very real sense the past literally exists just as the present and the future.But you have no proof of anything in regards to this 'time dimension', although you can assert certain things about the nature of the universe. Such as: the earth revolves around the sun, producing an endless loop of night and day; we are moving through the universe at the speed of light; the universe itself is moving and so is light; you exist right here and right now.
Quote:The illusion of time that we see is only because we are traveling through it and so, from our perspective, the past is time that we have already been past and the future is that which we haven't reached yet. The present does not exist at all.
How do you know the past exists at all if we are currently and perpetually in our own present?
BioLogos haha, I see now! You're right, I do believe in time. But that's only because I've experienced it before, so I know it exists.
1.) Exactly! Not everything requires a spatial location, especially something as illogical as God or time. Time has no location, no form, no obvious evidences; it only has the experience of it's passage to prove it exists.
2.) Well it could be said that God takes on all forms possible simultaneously, and that in so doing He requires no physical evidences of Himself.
3.) Exactly again! there is no proof of anything outsid eof what is in th ehistory books and in our memories. A good read on the concept is 1984 by George Orwell. Both memories and records/artifacts/fossils are unreliable unless you have faith in them.
