Re: [asa] Neo-Darwinism and God's action

There is one scientific interpretation within relativity theory that
holds that all time exists, so that we move to somewhen much as we move
to somewhere. There is a parallel here in that one can be in only one
time and one place, with sequential movement. They are different in that
time is unidirectional whereas space is multidirectional and repeatable.

The second paragraph confuses knowledge with existence. Just as a human
being can know without experiencing at the moment, so God can know, but
far beyond the human limitations. When the open theologians can answer
why it took God so long--eternity past--before he created this universe
(or is the multiverse eternal?), then I'll consider that they have
something relevant to say.

From a Reformed perspective, how do you answer the ontological argument
of the open theists? If the future hasn't yet happened, and therefore
doesn't "exist," how can it be determined?

I suppose one answer could that if God is outside time, every moment
"exists" for Him. A problem here is that if this is true, Christ is
somehow continually dying on the cross.
