Would God need to bend time to exist everywhere at once?

Question

I realize I'm going to get a lot of flack for this, but here goes.

What would God need to do to exist everywhere at once?

Universally, would it be feasible as he would be subject to the different time speeds in relation to one another?

Would it just mean that God would have to think slower the larger the Universe becomes because the less centralized the mind would be?

Answer 1

picture this

first imagine a 2 dimmesional world, in front of you...you exist in three dimensions so you can see every part of that world and whats going on in it from above. you can put you finger on it an manipulate things as well then disapear by removing your finger... the 2 dimensional people will have no concept of where you are or how you do things because they have no concept of where a third dimension could be.

Now take it further...we live in a three (spacial) dimensional world. a being that lived in four spacial dimensions could step outside the universe and observe all parts of it from this higher dimension it could enter it at will, and even reach inside our body the same way you could put your finger inside a 2 dimensional being.

Superstring theory actuall theorises 26 possible spacial dimensions...but the are all wound up on eachother.

Anyways, I digress, mathematically we can can work in 4 dimensions, and it looks good on paper, all comes down to the faith thing for any real evidence though. I don't try to convert, this is just a scientific explanation for how...honestly I don't know one way or the other yet on the reality

Answer 2

God is a effect of human interest. Why human beings nevertheless have faith in God i don't comprehend. i'm no longer asserting that there isnt a purpose to the universe yet i'm asserting that the universe is countless and asking whilst and why it began is like asking what the marital prestige of the quantity 5 is. The quantity 5 doesnt have a marital prestige and it in no way will, the question is irrelavant. Asking the place the universe got here from and what began it is likewise thoroughly irrelvant. At today and age the human recommendations can't comprehend and settle for this as an answer. all of us stay in a cold universe ruled via accident, potential and threat. If there's a God i've got faith God is the wonderful thing approximately you easily being alive and being waiting to conciouslly conscious the universe. ask your self, what's the possibility that I became concious. Why am I concious over somebody else who isnt alive and has the means to be concious. what's the probabiblity of being conciojus? that's the question

Answer 3

It's difficult when you start mixing science and religion because the religious view does not require proof or consistency. But I'll give it a go anyway.

One major problem here is that you're making God too small. You're trying to envision God as some sore of creature, something sort of like us but with superpowers, something that must be here or there. I suggest that God is no such thing and as a result, the concept of being in any given place simply does not apply.

Another way to look at this is to imagine ourselves as characters in a dream and God is the dreamer of the dream. The dreamer has complete control, can be anywhere at any time or multiple places at the same time, and can have full knowledge of what any given character will do.

Does that help?

Answer 4

In Special Relativity, the notion of absolute simultaneity of event vanishes. Observers do not agree on simultaneity.

In General Relativity, space time actually curves, meaning that you cannot fill the universe with a space time extrapotlated from that locally at all (you have to use a manifold).

Together these two mean that it is physically impossible to be omnipresent. Or put another way, god so made the universe that he cannot possibly exist.

Answer 5

That's the whole point of Him being God. He is omnipresent and not bound by time nor space. He exists outside our space time continuum. He is not bound by the same rules or "laws" of physics that we humans are. He existed before He created time. Time is an island in the sea of eternity.

Answer 6

God created time and space as concepts for men to understand their linear existence. God exists outside of that realm, so the concepts do not need to apply to Him.

Answer 7

Depends on if God is "contained" in the Universe, God "is" the universe, or if God is "outside" the universe. A theological question I suppose.

Answer 8

No...God is just so very huge that he can hold the entire earth in the palm of his hand (which I believe it states in the Bible) and look at and be aware of everything that goes on here, just as you can when looking at an ant colony, or a beehive.

Either that or else he moves at the speed of light..

Answer 9

If God could bend time, I'm sure he'd go back to before you posted that photo and would force you to use one with your shirt on.

Answer 10

If God were limited to the physical plane of existence, as the rest of us are, then yes.

But He's not.

Therefore, the question is moot.
