Can we really know what Time is? Can we really know what Time is?
I do believe that there has always been Time. We experience time every millisecond of our lives.
We can never recover any of it, as Omar Kyham said. Scientists have helped us to know that millions
and millions of years have passed since the Big Bang, which they learned about less than 40 years
ago. No scientist has ever fully explained what existed before it happened; however, it must have
been time for time was required prior to it happened in order to set up that which caused it.
I know that there are more than a million Bible believers who will not accept that "time is what we
call God" for they don't even believe there were dinosaurs or 'cave men' on this earth a few million
years ago. Strangely, there is proof about them but no proof about Genesis' creation story and even
believe that it happened just a few thousand years ago. But, it took God "time" to create earth,
even just 7 days, which is a measure of time.
All of creation of the Universe has taken time, more than scientists can explain until they have in
their hands the most distant part of creation. It took time for such creation.
Humankind has never been able to prove that God exists. The Bible and Koran and other religious
documents are not proof. The creation of all things of the Universe is not proof. If God cannot be
proved, but time is a part of our experience every minute of our lives, then time does exist without
a doubt. They do believe that time exists because they speak have "eternal life" and "life
everlasting" and "the beginning" and "forevermore" and other phrases that acknowledge the existence
of time before or "at the beginning" and that time will be after the Universe is no more.
We know that when astronauts are in space that they are aware of time. Even the speed of light is
measured in terms of time: "years" not "God."
In his latest book, Scientist Stephen Hawking has chapters about "time." He says that all that he
has learned has shown that time exists. He described the passage of time as if it goes on and on in
infinity; however, to him "infinity" is not a straight line. To understand how he defines "time"
you would take a circular item such as a wide rubber band or belt from your vacuum cleaner, Twist it
once into a figure 8 and look at how one side of it never ends no matter how many times you slide
your finger around it. He uses an illustration as if the rubber band is a railroad track on just
one side and no matter how fast or how slow the train goes, it never runs out of track nor needs to
stop to crossover anywhere. In the illustration, time is at the beginning, the middle and the end;
however, there is no 'beginning' nor an 'end.' For believers of the Bible who seldom believe
science, the 'beginning' and the 'end' are called God.
Perhaps the Bible writers who described God as noted above, needed to somehow define God, and
somehow the only way to define God was to use the same measurement, as they would measure Time.
With that, they might then say, "God is Time."
Those of us who respect science may still be waiting for the wisest of scientists to tell us what
time is? Perhaps they can never answer it except by using 'time' measurements such as 'infinity' to
define it.
I believe that Time did exist before matter existed. Matter cannot be destroyed; it can only
change. Time would have needed to exist before matter and energy or there would have been "no time"
for matter and energy to have been created.
"God" as an existing "One" can only be known by faith, just as scientific things such as electricity
is because we all know that we wouldn't flip a light switch if we did not have faith that the energy
of electricity would cause the light or motor to come on. When we reach to start our car in which
we've put 15 gallons of gas, we are not sure that it will start because there might be something
wrong with one of its thousand parts and its many processes that must happen in order for the car to
start; our doubt is present when we reach to the key to start the engine---faith does not. In the
same way, we know by experience that time is because it passes and there is always evidence, even in
our own bodies, that time passes, "moves on" and all that we do can cause it to "cancel" it, never.
I believe that all that we call "God" is the essence of "time" so that would mean, "Time is what
Christians and all who speak of God, are actually referencing.
Time is God. God is the name, given by many, for Time.

I m For because my friends theory is that like somewhere in the future probably some1 made a time
machine(u cant argue against time-machine), and DAT some1 is called Jesus and What he probably did
was sind himself back in time and did all the said all the quotes that's in the bible. So erm... |

Existence of God arguments aside, you're saying that just because both are allegedly eternal, that
they are one and the same? It seems a very flawed concept. |

Someone might have already answered this, but maybe what we define as time is an illusion created by
the human mind to measure the length in which we live. If you think about it, you have no track of
time when you are sleeping. Why is that? Because you're not conscious. Dogs can't even tell if you
were gone five minutes of five hours because they have no perception of what we consider time until
they have to go to the bathroom or if they are hungry.
Agreeing with Einstein, I think time does not exist in the past, present or future, but is rather a
dimension that we humans move through. "Past, present, and future are merely figments of our
imagination, constructs built by our brains so that everything doesn’t seem to happen at once."
On the other hand, you could think of time as something that is hard to perceive and requires a more
intelligent race of beings to view time correctly.
So to answer this question, I do not think God is time because humans can perceive time. If God
truly exists, humanity would not be able to even conjure a thought that was anywhere close to what
God actually was/is/will be. |

Time is only the counting the age of physical things. Past, Present, and Future. But outside of
time, (hard for a human to perceive something beyond his nature) Is considered eternal or something
that is always present. But you can barely debate on the existence of God. Because most people are
empiricists. And Empiricism shouldn't have anything more than a foggy idea of time because it isn't
tangible like a chicken wing (mmmm food.)
I'm hungry. Bye guys!
EDIT:: I just because Time and God have similarities doesn't mean they are one and the same. Even if
I said man was made out of God's image, we are not one and the same. And if me and an animal can
share an affection means we are not one and the same. Your argument must be based on two things
unlike us have something profound and different in nature from us in common with each other.
Man is subjected to time, as it is subjected to gravity, as it is subjected to temperature. (In a
physical sense) |

An interesting notion. You could well draw the additional simile that neither has ever been
satisfactorily described in nature or even outline by scientists, philosophers, or religious
leaders. Both stand outside all other aspects of the natural universe, while influencing or
supposedly influencing the natural world. However I think once you get to the point where basic
notions begin to collapse into themselves just like the four fundamental forces during those first
few billionths of a second after the Big Bang they lose their defining qualities. I.e. If god were
time why do you still need the word god? |

Time is not good or bad. God is supposedly good. Time does not love nor hate nor has any children.
We are the children of God and he loves us all. God is also supposed to be perfect...but don't
people constantly complain about time?
Time is tangible, and God is not. |

How do you know that there was something before the universe? |

God is timeless, God is beyond time, so how can God be time? You baffle me... |

GOD IS TIME For Time Was In The Beginning And Will Still Go On At The End Of The Universe, So TIME
IS GOD,or Humanity's Name For God.. - It's time for all the people on the agreeing side to grow up. |

Time is a measurement of the period in between two places. Not a person. God can't be time, even if
he exists why would he be time? What was before time? You can't honestly say "nothing" |

The abstract concept of time is no more than something humans created to understand and organize the
universe. In an objective sense there is no time only existence. You can't measure non-existence
with time. |

Time is a reality, a reality that deals with all of us; it has got nothing to do with God. No one
has ever seen God and no one has even seen time in practical sense, but time is that very and every
moment that we live, love, laugh, work, cry, play, sleep and many things else. God is a belief that
we give shelter in our minds, in our hearts and in our subconscious mind, but time is that unseen
object that keeps a track out of every move, good, bad, right, wrong or anything else it may be,
time is the entire span of our life. Everything that we do and we do not is denoted in the notebook
of time. It is time that has kept a record about the beginning of the Universe and everything since
then till this far. |

I'm against it because we have no idea what was there before the creation of the universe or any
other universe we haven't found yet.
If nothing existed, then there was no time and this is hard to comprehend.
Why does time have to equal God? Time is also a human construct and the idea of time has been dealt
with in many ways throughout human history.
Time was based on the cycle of the seasons, the sun, moon, stars and the human manipulation of this
for survival - this existed thousands of years before the concept of one God, which if you think
about it is relatively new in human terms. We don't need to equate God with time or as time.
It can be argued that we can't prove there is God but we can all experience the passing of time.
I think we can see the passing of time in ageing and the natural world and cycle of the seasons. It
could be argued that believers see God in this too. |

Sorry, best4write you completely destroy your own argument in the first sentence when you state,
“GOD IS TIME because we know”.
No we don’t, we’ve only an ancient collection of selective religious tracts to tell us that. We
can’t therefore ‘know’ that God is time any more than we can know the thoughts of our goldfish
as he swims around his bowl.
The proposition you posit here just can’t stand up when we consider all the known facts, as
opposed to assumptions and suppositions. What we do know is that time and space are inextricably
linked and that before the Big Bang that created our Universe there was nothing not even time
itself. Which is not to say there were, or are, other Universes that we know nothing of. Yet.
None of this however excludes the possibility that there is a greater force at work of which we
cannot fathom. Something sparked our Universe into being, it is difficult to imagine it
spontaneously conjuring itself out of, literally, nothing. |

Our understanding of time is a human abstraction and has nothing to do with the divine. Five hundred
years ago, most people in Europe (and elsewhere) would not have ascribed the same importance to time
as we do today. Days, hours and minutes were not measured with any accuracy, nor was keeping time an
integral part of European society during much of its history.
The average European peasant during the Middle Ages gave "time"--the way in which we understand this
concept today--very little attention. This changed slowly over hundreds of years, as mechanical
clocks were added to city towers in parts of Europe during the 14th century, and keeping time became
a more important aspect of culture and society. |

Your understanding of time is seriously flawed. Without the existence of matter, there is no concept
of time. Matter and Time co-exist side by side. Before universe, there was no concept of matter nor
was there any concept of time. Time started with big bang around 14 billion years ago. Also God is
absolute, and time is relative. Therefore, Time is NOT God. |
