This is a very interesting and well-thought-out Web site. Congratulations. But I wonder, if God is time, is time not God as well? What do others think?

"if God is time, is time not God as well"

bigbg,

You bring up an interesting claim. Many things are logically reversible. For example, 5 x 4 = 20, and 20 = 5 x 4. However, logic does not state that if A = B, B must = A. A good example of this: Trees are tall, and therefore tall are trees. The reciprocal just doesn't make much sense at all. The same idea applies to God and Time. As is stated on my God Needs Time page, God uses time in everything he does. He is powerless without it. Therefore, it isn't a stretch to say that God is time. Rather than having a God that uses time, God isn't necessary at all. Time is all that is required to create, because Time is the tool which God is fabled to use.

So to say that Time is God, one is suggesting that God does indeed exist. If Time is God, then IGITY becomes a religion instead of a philosophy. A religion with Time as its God. The whole reasoning behind IGITY is to do away with the concept of God, and explain everything that God is used for with Time. I suppose if you wish to say that Time is God you are welcome to, but it implies that Time is something other than just being Time. I personally do not wish to worship Time, and therefore I say that God is Time, but Time is not God. But if you must have something in this universe to call God (which I do not), I guess Time would be the most reasonable candidate. Thanks for the thoughts.

I agree with you. I actually came to this conclusion myself through a different path. I believe God is a concept of man just like time. However, time just creeped up on me so I'll get back to you.
