It is presumptuous to think that God measures time the same way humans do.

I actually really appreciate this response. Yes, I am a believer, but I struggle with believing a 6,000 year old universe and I've just struggled with this question. Einstein showed us time is relative, and according to the genesis account of creation, earth wasn't even created until day 4. A day is a rotation of the earth, so what was days 1-3? How were they measured? For a 5th dimensional (or higher being) those 3 days could have been billions of years relative to us 4 dimensional beings

From my other answer, you can see how absurd I think the post is. However, I will say that time is the one thing that is relative to a person’s framework! So indeed, if God exists in a ginormous gravity well, what passes for His day may well be billions of years to us outside of it. Because gravity doesn’t just warp space, it warps time as well! 🍻
