Pretty cool you both posted the same thing.
If you are raised with religion it is almost impossible to give it up fully. You can give it up but why lose a certain psycological comfort.
Yes logically there is prob no God as taught to us by man but that doesnt mean there is not something noone knows about.
But maybe not. Prob not. But then again miracles are all around us in the Universe so who knows.
Which really leaves it wide open.
What is time? There really is no time. Only now. So how can we be here now and not then if there is no such thing as time?
We are caught by time in this realm but perhaps we are not caught by time in another realm.
I just thought of that.

It is heavy.

Somewhere in the mystery of what is time and what is distance may lie the eternal answers.
