Debate: Is there God?
Side: Yes

time doesn't have to be measured by the earth's orbit, or turn in relation to the sun. That is simply measurement of time we are most used to.Okay, then give me an example of time outside the Earth's orbit and how it is a real thing, and not just a measurement. I meant to say after, we are not experiencing something before hand, we are experiencing it afterYour experience of now can be different than mine... That doesn't mean you are experiencing something after it actually occurred though. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrqmMoI0wks the before, now, and after.Do before and after exist? No. Only now exists. Before existed, and after will eventually become now.I agree, but space still exists right? Darkness exists right? A lack of light exists, no?If there was nothing, would you say that something exists? If you can say that space (as in nothing) or the lack of something exists, then that would mean that there is nothing that is non-existent. If my cup is lacking water, I would not say that my cup contains the lack of water, or that the lack of water exists. Even if it was just a drop of water in there, I would simply call it water... Or if the cup was empty, I would say that the cup exists. I could call it an empty cup, but it isn't a cup containing empty is it? Calling it empty is just another way to say that it is lacking liquid.A lack of taken space exists, no?A lack of taken space is just space.space is actually somethingIf space is the opposite of solid, in the same way that nothing is the opposite of something... Then how is space something?Can a nothing, or a lack of something be effected, or affect something?If your cup is lacking water, then you add water. You aren't affecting the lack of something... You're affecting the water, which is something.Check my link above.Can you summarize or quote whatever it says in relation to the comment? How do you know about the before, now, and after... just wait, you will consciously experience time...I know the now, I know the now, and I know the now. What we experience are a sequence of nows. Imagine one of those little books that has a continuation of a scene on each page. When you flip the pages consecutively, you get what looks like movement. That's basically what time is. Both, we were able to rotate away from the sun, because of time. Without time, nothing can happen.Are you saying that time is what causes the earth to rotate?So how is it different than measuring distance? If we can measure distance as distance, and time is another way of measuring distance, what separates measuring distance as distance, and time as distance?Distance is measured by the space between two points. If no two points existed, you could not measure distance.If it was deleted, wouldn't their still have been a before this argument was posted?But before and after don't exist. How could they? Only now exists, because only now is occurring. Before existed.Notice how it says OR there... that is kind of a key term there...Real- physically existing: having actual physical existenceActual- existing now: existing or occurring at the momentThat OR was used in the same sense as, you can call me a man OR a male.I'll say it as many times as I need to, the before, now, and after, that is what it is.Yeah, it would help if you stopped repeating yourself and paid attention to what I'm trying to say ;)
