Saint Augustine makes the argument that for God to exist, time must not.
- gjm11 16y agoHo ho ho. But, er, does he? He says that God exists outside time, and that time is measured by its impact on human minds; he says that past and future things don't exist; but it seems to me that he says that time does exist. Whether he expected heaven to involve any experience of time for its human inhabitants, I don't know.
- trevelyan 16y agoI wasn't intending to deride the point. I was just surprised I hadn't run into anyone else before who made the observation, since it implies that the very existence of time depends on one's frame of reference, that's all.
