Comments on: Who Made God? A Cosmological Argument for Kids http://www.apologeticsguy.com/2010/07/who-made-god/ Accessible Apologetics Training with Mikel Del Rosario Mon, 06 Feb 2012 04:02:03 +0000 hourly 1 By: Mikel http://www.apologeticsguy.com/2010/07/who-made-god/comment-page-1/#comment-92 Mikel Tue, 10 Aug 2010 17:36:33 +0000 http://www.apologeticsguy.com/?p=1197#comment-92 Great quote, Joe. Love C.S. Lewis. Interesting thoughts. Although I wouldn't say God "is at the beginning and the end simultanously." Imagine God with nothing. No space. No time. Now, imagine God with the universe he created. While he's not constrained by time, he acts in it as he interacts with temporal beings. Jesus died around 30 A.D. Not 30 B.C. or yesterday. I see what you're saying with the director analogy. But it takes a director like God to work out his master plan through the free choices of human beings! Great quote, Joe. Love C.S. Lewis.

Lewis' Screwtapes Letters prior to finding this page and in chapter 8 he writes (spoken by Screwtape), "Humans are amphibians - half spirit and half animal. As spirits they belong to the eternal world, but as animals they inhabit time." To me this would imply that God, being wholly spiritual and the only one not made, transcends time. Therefore God is at the beginning and at the end simultanously, there is no time that God is not present nor is there any time he cannot be in. It would be akin to directing a movie; the movie cannot proceed without a director, the director is there at the beginning, already knows the script, knows how each scene is supposed to play out, is present thoughout the entire production, and is there at the end to see the finished product. God is the director and the universe is his production. @ Andrea:

This is great, Sir Mikel! I've recently been having trouble answering questions about faith coming from my ten-year-old sister. This helps a whole lot! By the way, I was wondering if you could do an entry about time? As in, the beginning of time as we know it and how God fits us into the picture. I've been trying to think about it but it's honestly beyond me. Lol! Thanks! God bless! Wow! This is great, Sir Mikel!
