How do you think God measures time?

Question

I mean if the universe is 13.7 Billion years old and earth is 4 billion years old and modern humans have been around for the last 250,000 years or so (or less depending on yr beliefs) its seems to me that we have hardly exsisted at all. Yet there is the whole universe that has been around long before we exisited and will exist long after we are gone. Why would God create the whole universe? I'm not trying to start a creation vs evolution debate (again.....) just want to hear from people how they think we fit into the universe considering its age?

Answer 1

My belief is that our whole lifetimes are like only a minute or two to him.

Therefore, we don't have to sweat it. The "higher power" knows we couldn't have possibly done much better than we did considering how much time we had, and considering that we are only human.

In the words of John Lennon, "Nothing is real, and nothing to get hung about."

I don't think that means literally that nothing is real, but love is all that really matters, to the higher power or anyone else.

That is the way I would put it, I don't claim to know all of his beliefs.

Answer 2

Well starfish are a small but major part of the universe seeing how the creator of all things "The Great Starfish" made us in his image and all. In fact the whole ocean and everything in it was created for the starfish because we are the masters of the deep and have been granted superior dominion over all other creatures. Of course now that a few of you grew legs, developed lungs and crawled out of the ocean into the primordial slime bucket I suppose you think you have some sort of extra special classification? Well it's just not true, the universe is all about starfish and God "The Great Starfish" measures time in infinite bubbles.

The scientific dating of anything can be less then acurate. I knew a dinosour hunter that put chicken bones in a fish tank and then zapped it with high electric current, and then carbon dated the chicken bones. They proved by that method, to be millions of years old, and he got them from Kroger store that day? I think God is always NOW. I am sure he allows times in procession, like our life time so we can learn and relate to future and past, even though we don't really need to. It is truly always NOW even in our reality. The past present and future is alway present in the moment we just haven't preceived it as such. In God's mind it is all contained already. If we were able to step outside of this flesh for a moment we would realize that time and space is only relative to the place we are preceiving from. If it wasn't through these eyes who is to say the size and time? If you don't believe in the reality of the NOW moment then try to be in another time. It is impossible. We can record all of the history but we can never return in these bodies. I am sure God is always NOW. It is NOW right NOW, and It is still NOW right NOW and guess what? No matter how long it takes to type this sentence, it is still NOW.
So, consider the Universe to be a zillion years old or believe it was all contained in a moment ago and it is still all contained in the NOW moment and It will all be contained in all the NOW moments from NOW on. Point being it really doesn't matter what was happening a moment or a hundred years ago you cannot put your thoughts in EACH of those past moment from here. Hello from God. I knew you'd find me if you look where I AM, I AM, and I always am I AM. When I discribe myself as I AM then that should tell you what my time is like. I AM and NOW I AM.

Answer 4

First of all God doesnt measure time. He doesnt work that way. To him a thousand years is a day and a day is like a thousand years. Then about your years. The earth has been around for about 5,000 years give or take. You might ask yourself, Where is she getting this. Well if you add up years of people living from the time of Gods creation you get about 5000 years. Then you might say the earth is way older than that. Well think of this. God didnt create adam and eve infants. They were already grown up. Doesnt that apply to trees, soil, rock. He might of made them already aged. Hope this answered some of your questions.

Answer 5

All the figures you give are fake.
The time we use now, even being accurate at 1/billionth of a second, is still not real time. It is only convention for our temporary strugglings with day/D, hour/H! What is the value of that figure of 13.7 billion years?
And how can we conceive time in the eternal spiritual realm?
I think we better admit our ignorance and seek for the Divine Educator to start our learning to behave humbly and progressively.

Answer 6

If Diety created the universe and still watching the entire creation unfold, then you must understand that Diety would have other worlds than ours to watch. I am a firm believer in extra-terrestrial life/civiliations...some of these may be millions of years older than us and some may have only begun their life cycle. We are part of a whole too large for the human mind to truly grasp and understand. We fit as a piece in a jigsaw puzzle that is so large and complex that only the mind of God can understand it.

Answer 7

With billions of suns , many like ours with planets going around them don't be foolish enough to think that we are the only planet with intelligent life. What if God did not create man but ancient man who created God?

Answer 8

how much time passed from gen 1-1 thru gen 1-2 ? God told Adam to re-plenish the earth? the same thing he told Noah, to re-plenish the earth. As to imply there were people here before Adam?

Answer 9

with the Lord a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day." 2 Peter 3:8

Psalms 90:4
4 For a thousand ayears in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.

Answer 10

He measures time with a Rolex.
