I have heard people say that He is "outside of space and time". What that means precisely, no one has ever been able to tell me.
God only knows. http://www.buffalonews.com/opinion/viewpoints/god-must-have-existed-before-the-big-bang-20141221
What was God doing before time began? Here's an opinion: http://www.everystudent.com/videos/universe.html
Is a black hole outside space and time? They do seem to be observable objects within our universe - except for what's behind the event horizon. But our current theories about black holes also tell us that what is inside the event horizon is permanently cut off from our universe. So if God was inside a black hole, how could he affect anything outside of it?
I thank God I'm an atheist so I don't have to ponder the existance of that which does not exist.
What we've learned about time is that it is NOT infinite. In our universe, it had a definite endpoint in the past, 13.7 billion years ago. I agree that there was no "before" the Big Bang, because something being before its beginning is a logical contradiction.
From my stand point, the answer is simple... No where
God created space. HE wasn't anyplace because he did not create anyplace yet.
There was no space, so there was no WHERE either.
There is something in the NO thing. That is GOD. The possibilities in the seed is God. The Seed is not even a concept. God did not create concepts yet either.
God cannot be explained any more than anything we have not experienced can. I use the example of trying to imagine another color that you have never seen that does not exist to our knowledge.
Does that mean the color does not exist? Just because we cannot imagine it?
Having a location in space and time seems to me like a critical prerequisite to be able to say a thing exists.
I can imagine a colour existing that I have not seen before. But to say a colour exists, outside of space and time, would make no sense to me.
No it is not a black hole. A black hole is still a thing. It is a vacuum
God cannot be explained that way. Because it is outside of the physical. He can be felt and seen by our highest consciousness but he cannot be explained. Not in any way that anyone can agree upon.
I can point the way though. If you can get perfectly still for minutes at a time and shut all thought out and let your mind empty, there is still something there.
That presence is your connection to God. Like a non-physical telephone.
That's the wonderful thing about deities ... they don't obey the natural laws, they write them
Yeah, thank the existence of that which does not exist. OK!
wherever he wanted to be, just like now
