Just wondering!!! Because I don't. I think its just a concept made up by man. I'm not saying things don't degrade but I think time is an illusion set by the mind.

God set up time for man. Can you imagine Wall Street with no clock. Our country would stop if we didn't know when to go to work in the morning etc. It is no illusion. Watch the way the tides go in and out and the Sun rises and sets. They are on a time table set up by God.

the idea of time was a thing constructed by humans. the thing in which time refers to is quite real. for example there is no such thing in nature called a week. we as humans just arbitrarily decided to call it that and decided that a week had seven days. this is a question philosophers have debated over for centuries. of course there will always be those people who will debate the point, it is quite like religion in that sense

Time works to measure distance, it also works here on earth. But the real time is now. When the future comes, it also, will be now. The past is gone, forget it, go forward. Do you think God looks at man's time when concidering something, it's done before it happens, Cheers, or as we say on earth...Later!

You are correct. Time is a construct of man. We, humanity, believe that time and space actually exist, as does matter. It does exist for us now but only as illusion, but this illusion is a lesson and it is something to be transcended.

We use the concept of distance to account for things separated in space, and we use the concept of time to account for events separated in time. Both concepts have been dreamed up by people in order to make any sense at all of the placement and timing of things.



Maybe someday our little brains will evolve to a point where we can think in terms of higher dimensions of space and eternity of time.

God (who is timeless) recognizes time.



He made the Life on Earth in 6 Days and Rested for One as our example.



He said that there is a time to be born a time to die,

a time to plant and a time to harvest

a time to kill, and a time to heal.

etc

It took me 5 seconds to type this sentence. Oh look my sentence had a beginning and an end so between them there is time!!!!!





Ok so if you don't believe in time, why don't you just stop doing it then? Oh wait you can't!

It has been hypothesized that the space-time continuum really is just the space continuum.



According to this model, time (or, at least, what we perceive as time) is an artifact of the human mind that allows us to organize discrete events in the space domain,

I agree with you. Time wasn't made until people made sundials. And since season change and at different time each 'year', it just shows us that things grow and move and die. But in 'due time' but by the dial of a clock.

Everything is an illusion of the mind. Why should time be any different?

Time measures change. Most measurements are concepts "made up by man." That doesn't make them any less useful.

I've wondered actually. Perhaps it's simply a matter of perception.

I believe in time . I feel that there is a certain time to do things.

It doesn't matter. Time believes in you.



Time loves you. If you worship time it will become your personal saviour and prevent you from ever being late.



Praise time!

Personally, I believe in time.

If one gets to the point of differentiating between:



REALITY

and

One's PERCEPTION of reality,



then time is debatable because it is also a perception.

As a man with an education in physics, I must respectfully disagree with you.

Time is a label we use to describe.

time exists to prevent everything from happening all at once

Well its a real thing. Its not tangible, its a measurement.

time is a placeholder for matter and energy



it is a scientifically proven fact that it exists

I think Einstein and Physicists everywhere might dispute that with you.
