Let's see... time only flows in one direction (if it even flows), and you think you know how to apply it in a three dimensional world where everything moves in three directions??? Take your own advice and Google it.

Non sequitur. It's not my fault you don't even understand your own posts, although you are just reinforcing my point which is very good of you.

Provenance. Crudely, one's authentic, the other is counterfeit.
From a scientific perspective, even Einstein supposedly said, “People like us, who believe in physics, know that the distinction between past, present and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion.” All I’m saying is that it’s not deception on the Creator’s part, it's our lack of understanding.

That Einstein quote is saying that in the Einsteinian 4D block universe all moments of time are equally real, not that time isn't real. Deliberately making something to appear to be what it is not, is deception.

I didn't say it wasn't real; I said it was our lack of understanding (and I'd venture to include Einstein as well).

A lack of understanding presumes there already exists something beyond current understanding. At best, that's just another untested belief.
