Quote:
The question gets more interesting when you throw in the two views of supernatural sovreignty, which are almost parallel to determinism and free will. One holds that God is in active control of each event, and that our free will is only an illusion; the other says that He usually only controls the general direction of things and allows us to make our own individual choices. The latter view would say that while God could control every event, He is powerful enough to work around (and in spite of) individual choices and still accomplish His will.
That seems to imply that God is embedded in time, and is dragged along with the "present" like the rest of us.

If you can view multiple points in time simultaneously, in fact, all time simultaneously, then the universe should look like some sort of lumpy/stringy 4-or-more dimensional construct.
