Quora Answer: If God Created Time, is It Impossible to Know What God Did before That?
بِسۡمِ ٱللهِ ٱلرَّحۡمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ
The following is my answer to a Quora question: “If God Created time, is it impossible to know what God Did before?”
Time is the interval
between moments. This means there has to
be movement of particles, their displacement from one place to another. That period between their displacements is
what we experience as time. Therefore,
for time to exist, there has to be Creation.
God is Absolute. An Absolute God
experiences no displacement since there is no place God is not, and has to be. As such, whether with or without Creation, God
does not experience time since God Exists outside of time, just as He Exists
beyond Creation. If there were no
Creation, there would be no time, and since we cannot conceive of the Absolute,
we cannot fathom what God “did” before there was a “before”, since it does not
exist.
