    Define outside of time

    Actually, not knowing something and asking questions and debating is a way to gain knowledge. That's how school works. You don't understand, you ask a question, and you keep talking back and forth until it makes sense. I don't think people are necessarily ignoring the answer, they just think...

    Define outside of time

    Isn't asking questions and debating one of the best ways to gain knowledge?

    Define outside of time

    If he does things, he does them in some sort of order. For example, he created universe at one point, that's an event. Also, a guy said that god is nothing and since nothing does not apply to time because only matter applies to time. So god is the living embodiment of nothingness...but what...

    Define outside of time

    Did you actually think I thought time was a place like a house? But he still did all of those things in order, "instant to instant" in time. But we would make that time line sequentially, adding things taking things out in whatever order we chose. Still in time. He has events, he...

    Define outside of time

    A guy explained. Time only applies to matter. Since god is nothing (occupies no space, has no mass or matter, no form, etc etc) time is not something that has to apply to him. But nothingness is such a confusing thing, I looked into the physics of it and just didn't get it. It seems that some...

    Define outside of time

    Why even bring up that humans might not be able to know everything in a topic about answering a question? That's implying that this question cannot be answered when we're in the middle of trying to figure it out. I think it's too early to say for certain that we can't explain what people are...

    Define outside of time

    The statement made is that god exists out of time. To ignore the god part would make no sense. I know that I will not understand everything, but when someone makes a nonsensical claim and I ask them to explain, it's not being too demanding of them. That's how we progress as humans, if we...

    Define outside of time

    Are you asking why I talk specifically about god and existing outside of time and not other aspects of his existence? It's because I've heard that phrase often and just realized that I accepted that theory without thinking about it. When I thought about it, nothing about it made sense. I...

    Define outside of time

    A being cannot control something within that something? If I am inside a machine, is it impossible to affect how that machine is run? The existence of those people are still in time, they just went backwards in time. Unless they stopped existing for a time, and then came back into existence.

    Define outside of time

    So the time in which he exists is at one place, which stands for nothing/means nothing? God exists in nothing/is nothing? We cannot measure all of it, since it is so big, but we can measure sections of it. That doesn't mean anything anyway, since god exists outside of existence and only in...

    Define outside of time

    But you are saying that god does not exist within reality since time is the measurement of something existing. Time is a measurement of the existence of what is, if something exists outside of time then that it, whatever it is, is not part of existence.

    Define outside of time

    Define absolute in relation to god. Yes, I agree infinity has no beginning or end, but according to the theory that god exists outside of time that is irrelevant...and doesn't make sense It's like saying, "He exists outside of all that has, is, and will exist because he is forever (which...

    Define outside of time

    So the only parts time exists, in that things continue to exist from moment to moment, is when we are able to see it happen or something close to that? Just because the data itself is so vast we cannot measure it, does not mean it doesn't exist. Although personally it goes above my head to name...

    Define outside of time

    This makes no sense to me. Can you be less abstract in your explanation?

    Define outside of time

    Eternity is time, it does not have a beginning or end but it is time. That would mean if god is outside of everything that has, is, and ever will exist, what is the point of him? "eter·ni·ty noun \i-ˈtər-nə-tē\ : time without an end : a state that comes after death and...

    Define outside of time

    I read how theists say god exists outside of time, but what does that mean exactly? Time is: "1. the system of those sequential relations that any event has to any other, as past, present, or future; indefinite and continuous duration regarded as that in which events succeed one another. 2...

    Formal Debate Peanut Gallery - Atheistic Secular Humanism...

    I understand completely. It was such a struggle (too annoying) to read I just skimmed over it. It will probably take me several times to just get through what he is trying to say. Perhaps it was intentional, I mean, you can't really criticize something fully if you don't even know what the...

    Secular arguments against homosexuality

    1. I would agree (I still need to do my own research on pedophilia being innate, but for now let's assume the information you provided is correct). 2. As long as that sexuality does not harm others. If you do not know currently, adults who have sexual relationships with children hurts the...

    Stephen King Has A 'Tendency To Believe In Intelligent Design'

    Why is this news? A person believes in intelligent design, we have a section on this site where intelligent design is believed by many and they debate it frequently. It's the same as posting someone's screen name in a post and saying, "Christian694 has a tendency to believe in intelligent...

    The difficulty of talking to Atheist

    Thank you, sorry I got confused. But, why is that strange? It is all humanity has ever known, it's like saying, "Don't you think it's weird that we have to breathe air?"
