I moderate a discussion board that is mostly about space/science/astronomy/mathematics, etc. We have an ongoing discussion about what time really is.

During one discussion about time and space - as I read the posts of one of our extensively eduated posters, he was describing what it would be like to "exist outside of space/time". As he explained what this 'person' would be able to know/see/do, it occured to me that he was describing what God claims to know/see/do in the Bible.

I did not inject religion into the discussion, as that is not allowed in that sectoin of our board. But it sure got me to thinking!!!!

If God is not a physical being (and I sure don't think he is) then the constraints of space/time can't constrain HIM. I continue to monitor the discussion (and never join in, as my education level is not sufficient - I can, however, effectively moderate the discussion), it is wonderful food for thought!

But as has been pointed out, no one will ever prove He exists.
