Relativity

Einstein, and others, have gifted us with a wonderful thought that seems to not get enough attention from the philosophical world. "distance and time depend on the observer, and that time and space are perceived differently, depending on the observer."

My application of this concept is aimed toward the idea of an instant. During a discussion about the all-knowing-ness of God, someone made a comment that seems to have struck a chord with me. It is said that God knows exactly what we are going to do, contrary to the popular belief most hold regarding free will. At this point, someone introduced me to the thought that relevant to Him, our lives begin and end in an instant. If it would be accepted that God does not exist in any one time, but rather spans the spectrum of future and past, it would be possible for, what we have labeled, destiny and free will to co-exist.

I'm not here to talk about that, however. While I still can't find reasoning that would prove our Creator as "lacking flaws", this may be the closest that I can currently get. Suppose that our creation, evolution and even death, is part of an instant during which our engineering is taking place. Even if our perfect creation occurred in exactly a split second, would it be perceived to us in the same way? Perhaps the moment that our consciousness began to even remotely come together, so did our relativity.

If this is the case, imagine how much progress we have made in our Gods instant. My vision is that by the time we're done, we too will have created an instant of our own. After all, if God is in fact powerful beyond our understanding, would our final state not lead us to the same scope of doing? Consider that in the instant that we finally do create the perfect sub-universe, it will in fact expand, learn and engineer one of its own.

Relativity may in this case suggest that we will never run out time when all we really need is an instants.
