RP I don't think that time exists in a substantial sense, except to
explain sequences of events or provide reference states/events. From
what we do know of it, if I am correct, time is relative, and I am
beginning to think of it similarly to gravity. In my view the present
can and the past has been affected by the future. Through this I accept
causality but deny determinism.
Now why cloak explanation in very human terms like happiness and
loneliness? What is pleasurable and painful to this trans-being? This
implies to me a changeful One, not eternal and omnipotent in the linear
senses usually attributed. But something alive, with living parts which
have an impact on the whole. Sorry if I am putting words in your mouth,
care to clarify more?

therefore , though universes have a beginning and an end , Creation

beginning or end of time.

This leads us to the question of the existence of our universe at
all, if a being existed: omnipresent, omniscient, eternal; what
point would there be to creating our universe?

Francis , if creation were to have a beginning and an end the
eternity of God would have no meaning as it is in creation that
God's presence is felt. God would have become a very lonely fellow.

RP, I've asked the question before and I'll ask it again:
