How to explain this.....Hmmmmmmm
I am not a creationist nor am I an evolutionist. I think that the infinite is concious. The problem is that the human idea of conciousness is too small...too limited....to grasp it one needs to let go of that preconception. Buddha called it enlightenment. The letting go of the individual and being the whole.
I don't think that time has anything to do with evolution or creation. Both sets of possibilities exist. All possibilities exist for lack of a better word.....now.
Time exists for us perceptually because we can only perceive our own "now" We can remember our own past "now's" and imagine our own future "now's" but we aren't experiencing them in our own particular "now".
Have you ever had your life flash before your eyes? That particular description in no way accurately describe that event. For that moment, you perceive all of your "now's" There is no linear connection.
Or time dialation? This is one of my favorite. (It's one of the reasons why I like psychedelics so much)
I'm going to try to put our a theory here. I'm going to try to make it simple, so please bear with me when I use words that may not be the best technically. Remember, it is the concept that is important, not the story.
Imagine for a moment that you are all that exists. You are every possibility. You are everything. You are aware of every possibilty that you are. Now imagine that you want to experience each possibity independently. So because you are everything you can do this all at once. Read every choose your own adventure book at the same moment. The ultimate multi-tasking.
For you this happens instantly. But for each of the "adventures" it happens event to event causing a linear sense of time as it happens.
It's why I really liked the end of Matrix Reloaded. The room with the architect. Neo was only aware of his own now, but the architect could see all the possible nows.
