[Fwd: Re: [asa] God, Chance and Purpose]

I know this "outside of time" posit is pretty common. But since you and
a few others seem clear on this, in what way would you think that God
and time are interrelated such that time can be a part of Creation, but
at the same time not be in some way a part of the presence and reality
of the Creator? Just askin...... I am just a little suspicious of that
assertion (it is just that, isn't it?).
