I wasn't necessarily agreeing with Einstein, but I fail to see how this statement is logical.
Okay, a line is infinite. As soon as you put a point on it, it is no longer a line but two rays and has properties of both finite point of origin and infinite properties. In other words, it stops being infinite because you are constraining it with the finite, in this case two rays extending from the 'finite' point.
Just because we may not understand it doesn't mean it is outside of possibility.
The problem is trying to put an arbitrary point of consideration on His infinite existence. It is trying to force God to be 'finite.' The point automatically redacts Him being infinite. God does this entering and interacting with us in our perceptions thus time, but those are 'His' meaningful and eternal points, because He is eternal.
In other words, He qualifies/quantifies us, we do not quantify or qualify Him. The infinite can measure what is finite (measurable) but the finite cannot measure what by definition has no measure.
Okay, first of all, time is only conceived because of physical properties. Without it, there is no way to measure duration. The have done experiments with people, even on a recent episode of BrainGames, where people were deprived of some senses and lost capability of gauging duration. Because God does not change, even if only for an Open Theist's understanding of immutability, that aspect is beyond space, time, and any other measurement. Why? Because to what every even the OV allows immutability, there is no change. No change = no duration.
Example <--------------------> This line will never change. It goes both ways to infinity and cannot be measured. You can't measure an infinite line and you can
only observe the segment of it that is within our physical area of ability.
Because God is 'infinite' and measure is 'finite' you cannot measure Him with anything. Like the segment in the line above, you can only do so with what every portion of Him interacts with us. We do
not know all of God.
Saying it doesn't make it so.
True, but these are important principles that are true nontheless.
Can you actually make this argument or are you only able to spout your position without supporting it?
Time is a concept, but its impetus is observation. In other words, without our 5 senses, there is no sense of duration. I can but point to tests done to show this, but remembering God has an infinite past (that in our language is 'still going' by conception, already means God escapes what we know of time. We never do nothing, so are always sensing duration (doing something). When we sleep, there is no time. You do not lie there for 8 hours knowing you are lying there for eight hours (sans insomnia). You lie down, close your eyes, and instantly are awake, yet 8 hours (or so) has past. Also, we do travel to the past and see the past, believe it or not. For instance, we know that we see stars that exploded well before we were born, yet we can watch it 'as it happened' when Moses was a live because it is still happening when we see it. That is, the manifestation is now with us of something that happened hundreds of years ago. We literally watch it explode 'now.' And here is the mind boggler: It no longer exists! At the moment we are watching the explosion on a telescope, the even is happening before our eyes, yet the star hasn't existed for hundreds of years.
The point, if we can already travel in a limited manner backwards in time, then God, who is infinite and all powerful, is infinitely more able than we. On top of that, we are talking about a 'physical' thing. God is Spirit.
Forget a foundation of sand, you have no foundation at all displayed here.
I missed this as you pushed your response altogether, but no, it is no house of sand. Mathematics and science help us at least partially understand and establish what is infinite. It is in comparing the two that we get small glimpses and here are several given.
