Time only contributes to total energy of the universe by making organized energy disorganized, through entropy.
But it's the same quantity of energy, as per the conservation of energy.
Thanks Syne. Never thought of it.that way. I feel I've derailed Ostro's thread a bit. I think he likes.the God proving questions so I'm going to ask some.
I think the limit of God's knowledge needs to be established first.
Ostro, doesn't.matter how an omniscient being pops.into existence but why would it create anything? If it's all knowing then i think you're trying to prove the existence of something that really doesn't need you, as harsh as that sounds. Proving God would be an exercise in futility, no?
From what I understand, you've proven God or believe.someone else has and you've also experienced close encounters with the divine. As a created being and because of what you hold.to be true, does God know everything?
I suppose it's OK to believe that a thought needs to prove the thinker and that one can deploy many measures to accomplish the task. If God is not.omniscient then does he/she/it qualify for.divine status and worthy of your efforts? Maybe you should be looking outside the metaphysical.
