  • God cannot decide

    "There cannot be any sequence in a timeless state since the state becomes ill-defined. In this case God is decided and undecided in a timeless point."

    Agree. But I thought my meaning was quite clear. I'm questioning the entire notion of a timeless state. Furthermore, even a spaceless thought has time occurring concurrently. While a time can be can be created, altered and destroyed, time itself is beyond all of the aforementioned possibilities.

    Whose absolute time? If the brother is gone 100 years, rather than 20 and returns to earth, the brother on earth grew old and died. While the brother on the trip may only be older by a few years if that. He will then go on live many more years. The question I have is if he traveled at near light speed as measured back on earth, then for him, in his spacetime reference, he would have been traveling much faster than the speed of light. That is an impossibility according to the proponents of this theory.

    "...the high-precision required of the GPS system requires nanosecond accuracy..."

    "If these effects were not properly taken into account, a navigational fix based on the GPS constellation would be false after only 2 minutes, and errors in global positions would continue to accumulate at a rate of about 10 kilometers each day! The whole system would be utterly worthless for navigation in a very short time.”

    Hmm. This seems quite odd to me. The British during the early years of the second world war using quite obsolete radar technology were able to get a very accurate position on their bombers flying over Germany on night raids without using the clocks on the bombers. The only clocks that were needed were the clocks at the ground stations back in England. That was over 75 years ago. Today. much of the world is not covered by GPS, due to a lack of ground stations. This GPS clock claim is repeated over and over by thousands of people, but original sources are very few. There are as far as I can tell about an equal number of people in the field who challenge this claim, but rarely ever referenced. I wonder if popularity gets in the way of actual information transmission. Technologically speaking, there is no reason that necessitates a clock on any GPS satellite.

    "God is in state of timeless where there is no before and after (this is true since time is part of creation)."
    Does God not have a before and after? It seems to me he must have a sequence of events. On what basis would God be denied such a reality? Assuming God existed before creation, then time must have existed before creation. I would propose that time is the one understanding that he could not create, but rather ran concurrent throughout the eternity of his existence. For those who say he is all knowing, time is the one item beyond his all-powerfulness. The only power he could have over it is the power of suicide. He could permanently kill himself and thereby destroy that time which is limited to his existence. But any time existing beyond his existence (i.e. time he allowed beyond his existence) would be unaffected.

    What does "OP" stand for? I am new to this forum and want to understand what I'm reading. Please explain.
