time and space exsists because the human mind and body cannot comprehend all of reality at one given moment, so it is broken down into chunks that it can manage.
Wouldn't that mean that we are born with the god given ability to manipulate time and space? If so do you think we would be able to tap into this ability and alter reality further?
I am asking this in Religon because I want to get a philisophical opinon on the question.

well that is all in theory isnt it?
but yes lets say its true...
first of IF we have this ability who is to say that we could alter time and space? the ability to comprehend all realty doesnt necessarily mean we would be able to change it.. what if it is just simply impossible?
but i think its possible for people to use more than 10% of their brains, sure.

Yes. Under that line of reasoning, our brains do have the POTENTIAL to alter time and space, because we do so. The question then becomes, to what EXTENT do we have that potential. Perhaps it is limited by our mental faculties, and the only way we can understand time is upon a continuum, almost as in 2-Dimensions.
Let us say that this 'time line' in 2-Dimensions is only a part of what is occuring or the way it is occurring. Perhaps everything that happens simply IS. That is almost too much for our minds to understand. Maybe some cannot grasp it, and others have a better understanding and ability-- thus "ESP" [extra-sensory perception, premonitions, etc. Which , by the way Premonition--- cool movie]
This would mean that we may have the ability to (follow this.......) REMEMBER WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN TOMORROW.
I believe that there may be some way to 'tap into' that, as you have suggested, but it takes some form of extremely open-minded thinking, paired with a certain level of intelligence, and perhaps even simply talent or ability. Conceptualizing time and space as INFINITE is an age old religious and philisophical question... for a reason. As long as history has been written, our ancestors have speculated this because they understood that we have the capability, that it is uncommon, and that it is intriguing.
If you figure it out, let me know!

You're confusing science and philosophy. The scientific view is that time and space (space-time) is part of the structure of the universe.
Incidentally, if you wander over to the philosophy section of this forum you'll find the folks that speak of time as an illusion of the human mind. They're just flat wrong.
Time and space have a relationship with each other and with energy which is quantifiable and measurable. For example, a clock sitting on the ground floor will run a little slower than a clock on the 80th floor. This is because gravity is a little stronger at ground level and gravity distorts space-time in accordance with Einstein's General Relativity. Time and space were brought into existence at the Big Bang event, not through human consciousness.

Well, we know the human mind cannot comprehend all that is occurring at any given moment on earth. Also, we are such a tiny player in this galactic comedy, the amount of input to process would be far too overwhelming, for the greatest of minds. Someday man may be able to manipulate time and space and possibly change history, but how would we know?
Live well........

Time and space are independent of human thought and the human body. It existed prior to the existance of man and will continue after. The ability to manipulate time and space is the stuff of the SciFi channel and nothing more. I wish it were otherwise so I could go back in time and make some changes.

If, in fact, we are manipulating time and space, then we can only manipulate our own time and space within the confines of our bodies. There are approximately 6 billion people on earth. If we all manipulate time and space, then we live in a pretty effed-up world. That's why we have an imaginary personal space, so that when another being enters our personal space, we can sue them. That's why it's great to live in the United States.

Last thing I heard is that some scientist believe there is evidence for 10 dimensions. Most humans struggle with 4. So, maybe. If God is outside out dimensions, and can travel through it-that may answer some questions.
But this is deep space for me Pal.

I would say that it does not mean that we can manipulate any or all of the universe we are a part of....on a related note though....even the Bible says (as do many other religios writings) that a day of "God's Time" is untold thousands of years of man's time.....so doesn't that mean that both Creation and Evolution could be the SAME STORY?

Yes. There are those who will argue with the "god-given" part, but quantum physics has indeed confirmed that human thought and emotion can and do control physical reality. I mean that in a literal, "it's not real until you look at it" sense.

Yes of course I'm still living in 1999 myself and I understand some of you are just coming into the year 2007. What happened in 2000? Did y2k actually happen? Did the world crash? How did humans survive?
