Exactly.. Linear Time itself may be only a perception.. i.e. of humans..
I know this goes against rational thinking “in the box”...
but “in the box” you may only see “cardboard”.. i.e. cardboard box..
Humans thinking about time can be described in the metaphor of a Chimpanzee considering a Platinum diamond encrusted Rolex watch.. The creature has no idea of whats involved in producing that “interesting bauble”...
With Chimps whats important is WHO GETS TO hold the artifact.. disagreements can happen.. and fights over possession of the “shiny thing”... What “IT” actually “IS”.. becomes much less important.. than pecking order..
You know... “alpha ape” credentials.. LOL.. like an “APE” has the slightest concept of what that watch actually is..
Apes considering “GOD” is also a “reach”.. not far from humans attempts at it.. like a painting trying to psycho analyze the painter..
I admit humans have a distinct problem with INFINITY..
or anything “eternal”... The real question is “IS” eternity possible.. cause if it is.. it is possible in both “perceived” directions.. (past and future)..

In a different “direction” of thought.. some scholars say the word translated as “created” in some passages in Genesis is really the word. re-created.. or re-modeled..
If true this sends the conversation in a completely different direction.. Bringing in the concept “re-created from what?”.. even “re-created WHY?”, I’ll go even further.. “re-created for WHOM?”... Not to speak of the concept “Who put Satan here, and why?”...
But humans like boxes.. as completely as kittens like to play in boxes.. They feel “safe” in their boxes(dogma).. Humans are sometimes as cute as a kitten, sometimes NOT..
