Can anything exist for an infinite time or outside of time?

If the TOE is correct then it would be unfathomable to believe that insignificant lifeforms on an insignificant planet in an insignificant galaxy could ever grasp the most minute iota of understanding of such complex concepts as time and space and all the ridiculously complex thought systems that man has a grasp on. That kind of higher thought, found only in humans only serves to undermine and negate the validity of the TOE.But, if it must be discussed, the only explanation I need for man to possess such knowledge is his consumption of fruit from the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, sometimes referred to as the Tree of Conscience. God said, "The man has now become like one of us, knowing good and evil. He must not be allowed to reach out his hand and take also from the tree of life and eat, and live forever."We should leave space and time to the one who didn't merely create it, but is actually the very essence of it. Only God knows when time started and when it ends because He is already there; "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End."What we humans should then focus our energies on is what we are going to do with the time God has given us. It matters less where we came from and much more where humanity is going.

Nonsense. Evolution makes no predictions about what the exact abilities of any species should be.And guess what? You're well off-topic on that, here. Go to a place where evolution is being debated (i.e. one of the theads devoted to that discussion) instead of spouting your crap everywhere.

If you genuinely believe that human intellect is superfluous to our requirements, then try doing without it.For the next month, every time you have a decision to make, don't follow the suggestions of your smart human brain. Instead, do what a monkey would do.Let me know how you get on.

Discussing the discussion itself is actually on-topic. Said discussion being that the whole question of time and space does not fit into the TOE, which is strictly about survival, but the fact that a non-animal, human species actually concerns himself with the concept of time and space only proves to undermine the TOE, which in turn would imply a creator being responsible for time and space, because without the TOE, at least for the atheist, there can be no other force great enough to make a creature capable of the higher intellect required to discuss matters of time and space.Edited by mwharton479, : No reason given.

What would a human pretending to be a monkey pretending to be a human pretending to be a monkey pretending to be a human pretending to be a monkey (you get the idea) solve? It wouldn't make an iota of difference relating to the matters of time and space.A more sensible approach would be for you to trade places with a monkey in the wild and see how well your "smart human brain" is suited for survival. Maybe you'd realize that the human brain is better suited for higher thought than a monkey's brain that is more suited for survival. That concept is called "primal instinct" and monkeys have it, as do all animals, and humans don't, which is what separates non-animal humans from all other lifeforms on the earth. Do any other lifeforms on the earth, specifically animals, even have the slightest comprehension of time and space? Not unless it has to do with getting the next meal in their gullet.

Once again: nonsense. That one species has developed cognitive ability as a result of evolution which enables it to consider questions beyond the moment means nothing except that it has done so.
Once again: off-topic. The question of whether evolution accomodates said ability is entirely irrelevant as to whether something may exist for infinite time or outside of time.
You maye have been able to determine this by a) knowing that the thread is in the Big Bang and Cosmology forum, meaning it has nothing to do with evolution at all, and b) reading the original post, which never implies, let alone mentions evolution.You are way off base. Go to a thread where evolution is being discussed. This is not such a thread.Edited by Nij, : No reason given.

Dr.Kaku has caught my interest lately. I stumbled upon him on You Tube talking about recent advances in Cosmology and the possibility of multi-verses. He has a good series on time as well. LINK:
Time-Dr.Michio KakuEven if scientists are wrong eventually, it is refreshing to listen to someone actually think and then point out theoretical support for their argument or theory. Science can be wonderful! Edited by Phat, : fixed for clarification

There is a way that time began before our big bang.Suppose that an intelligence evolves/rises to such an extent that he is able to to start a bb and create a new universe from within his own, he would then be in his own spacetime and outside of the new spacetime that he had created.If the destined end of our universe is stagnation, then an intelligence might attempt to put the fizz back in the bottle.Paul.
