Writer Philip K. Dick says, "God does not see time as we do; i.e. for him there is no past nor present nor future. Let us imagine a situation in which God decides to intervene into our space-time world; i.e. break through from his timeless realm into human history. He can as easily break through into what for us is the past as he can break through into what for us is the present or future. God, to bring about the Last Judgment, need not limit the event to our present or future; he can breach our past -- in other words, change our past history; he can cause it to have happened already. And this would be true for any change he wished to make, large or small. I submit to you that such alterations, the creation or selection of such so-called ‘alternate presents,’ is continually taking place."

If time doesn't exist for God then He must have created our entire
ReplyDeletespacetime in, from His point of view, a single act of creation. I can
hardly be blamed for my sins if my entire life was created in an
instant complete with me already in the act of sinning. Any memory of
decisions I made to commit a sin were also created along with the sin
itself so cause and effect are illusions. My entire life is a static
creation of God.
