Dilemma of time and the act of creation

[davidv]

But you agreed that God can decide to not create.

No, I don’t agree. Why? Because God does not decide in way you are meaning it.

This is equivalent to the first point, nothing, in the way I understand it.

No, it is not equivalent.

No, I don’t agree. Why? Because God does not decide in way you are meaning it.

Then you need to explain how does God decide?

No, it is not equivalent.

It is abstractly.

No I don’t need to explain God does it, as it has nothing to do with the false dilemma presented in the OP.

It is abstractly.

Wow, you guys are still at it. I wonder do you all consider any progress to have been made? Are we closer to a truth than we began?
I have a few questions…Now that time has been “created” what does it mean to be outside of it? Is this merely a matter of perceiving all of time at once? Can one exist outside of time with only an awareness of certain “segments” of it? How exactly can God interact with time and yet stay outside of it?
