Debate: Is there God?
Side: Yes

Infinite, but how do we know if eternity is possible?Before the universe, there was no time (no earth or sun). With a universe or without it, eternity will continue. As I said, time is just an illusion.Actually, our consciousness experiences things a couple milliseconds before it actually happens... So it is not in the now, it is in the NOW of the conscious experience, but what our consciousness experiences is not.That doesn't make any sense. You can't experience something before it actually happens. If you are saying that your brain doesn't register what happens within that exact millisecond, then that makes no difference to what you directly experience. You aren't making any sense, the past isn't anywhere it's before now... To say time doesn't exist or is an illusion, (and I mean time, beyond the word time) is to say the past never happened...Something that exists occurs at this moment. The past happened... It isn't happening.What is time beyond the word?Time is a measurement, so is distance, does distance not exist?No, it doesn't. No measurements exist. They are man-made concepts. It is a measurement of the space between one point and another. Does space (as in empty gaps) exist? Is nothing something? Could we have distance if there were no objects? In order for you to get from Point A to Point B, you need space between the two... So is space something or is it merely the lack of something? Just as darkness is the lack of light, space is the lack of objects.To say "where is time" is not understanding what time really is, it's just the before, now, and after, nothing less, nothing more.It is a man-made concept. Physics agrees with this. Is this a scientific argument that you disagree with? Imagine a world with no clocks, no numbers, no schedules... How would you know time? You could of course go off the earth's rotations, but when day becomes night, is it because of time or is it because we just simply rotated away from the sun? The sun is light, and the absence of light is darkness. Time is just another measure of distance. Before, now, and after exist right?Exist- "1.be: to be, especially to be a real, actual, or current thing, not merely something imagined or written about2.live: to be alive, or continue to live3.occur: to be present or found in a particular place or situation"I mean, there was a before, I posted this argument right?The argument exists because I can continue to access it. If it were to be removed from the internet and deleted, it would no longer exist.The before exists... time exists, time itself is not an empty concept, maybe hard to wrap your mind around as other than a concept because you don't see it physically or anything, but it obviously exists...One second ago no longer exists, only now exists. One milisecond ago doesn't even exist. Time is a measurement of past and future... Neither exist at the moment. Only now exists.A lightning strike is just a flash. You see it for less than a second and then it disappears. Does it still exist after you saw it? No, because to exist is to be current. To occur at the present moment. If it is no longer occuring, it no longer exists.It's not just about black wholes, time is slower or faster out in space (I can't remember which at the moment) but time is something that can be effected by other forces... Time is a measurement, but it is a measurement of something very realSo what is it then?http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/science/ is-time-an-illusion-30858.html
