i was in physics and they were talking about wormholes and time travel and space etc etc

alright well we all know how god can be everwhere at one
what about IN the FUTURE?
does say 10 seconds from the time you read this sentence, does that time exist yet?

so say we go in the future, could this prove god exists by seeing something that has 'not been created' yet?


i apologize if this is confusing, i thought of this 5 hours ago and forgot most of what i was thinking but this was the just of it.
This is NOT a troll.

Time is a dimension that God is not limited by. In the same way it is said that God is omnipresent and sees everything, so is He omniscient throughout time.

This is correct. God is timeless (eternal) and changeless (immutable).

Remember that the Bible states that God is the author and finisher of our faith. This makes it easy for us to understand that God's knowledge of human existence on the timeline is not limited like ours.

We tend to think that God exists alongside us in time, when that is not the case. He transcends time.

This helpful illustration from C.S. Lewis's Mere Christianity may be helpful. Lewis says that since God transcends time, he is capable of seeing all of time equally vividly. He can see the beginning of human time to the end of human time. It's sort of like if you were a father or mother with a grown child, you could sit down and vividly imagine each step of that child's life. Take that to the extreme, where God is omniscient and knows all of the fine details on an infinitesimal level, and you have a God that can see the beginning to the end, just like a father or mother could see the beginning to the end of a child's life if they had perfect knowledge of them.

Hopefully that helps some. Remember: God can see all of time equally vividly.

Wormholes are theories and have never (yet) been discovered in the universe.

From a science point of view, future and past are things that are imagined in our head in order for us to comprehend our lives. In science, the only time zone is NOW.
In science, and thus the real world, this "now" has a duration of one yoctosecond (10^-24 second). There are 100000000000000000000000 now's in one second. The future is yet to be determined, and the past is no longer relevant.

From a religion POV, you believe in a book that says god has a plan for everything.

You decide what to believe.
