28. God / A. Divine Nature / 5. God and Time
All things are in the present time to God [Augustine]
     Full Idea: To God there is neither past nor future, but all things are present.
     From: Augustine (Some Questions about time [c.420], 17), quoted by Robert Pasnau - Metaphysical Themes 1274-1671 18.3
     A reaction: Presumably God's present was crowded, so He invented time to spread them out?
