“The Present, the Past and the Future can all exist in a single moment, and our understanding of time is merely an illusion.” Albert Einstein was wrong when he said that.
Yikes! How dare anyone say Einstein was wrong!
I’m gonna share some misconceptions about time that probably helped lead Albert in the wrong direction. Then, I’ll let you know where you can find out more about it.
Misconception 1: Measurement of time equals time itself. Simply pointing out this nearly ubiquitous error should suffice to correct it. Secular folks and believers alike frequently assume this non sequitur with Christians suggesting that there could be no time prior to the Earth’s orbit or its rotation. And their confusion results from an assumption that if man possessed no scale then there could be no mass. Or no ruler then there could be no length. Or no speedometer then there could be no velocity. So, no clock and there could be no time. The measurement of something does not equate to the thing itself and neither does the ability or lack thereof to measure something equate to the thing itself.
Einstein’s theory about time would have horrible consequences.
Because it would mean that everything that happened, happens, or will happen is happening all the time. Even the most horrific stuff. And it boggles the mind to ponder such evil. So, I know God would never design that system.
There’s a time for rejoicing;
Between the sunrise and the sunset.
There’s a time for your heart to be free from pain.
There’s a time for believing;
This is only the beginning.
There’s a time when your spirit can see so plain.
That’s when you’ll know
You’re welcome to go. (from my song There’s A Time © 1983 & 2007)
I’ll share a couple more misconceptions later.
