 In your infinite human smartness, please explain to me exactly how a being who is by definition outside of time would see time, what that would look like, and what the exact implications would be as viewed from the natural universe.

So your argument is that God can't see time? That would void omniscience. Try again, timmah.

Wait, what? Where in the world did you get that?? Outside does not by definition mean 'cannot see', and in this case it's the exact opposite. I'm starting to think you see what you want to see in my points, then fill in the blanks with whatever best fits your views... and you're reeeeeaaaaaaalllllly reaching here. If a sattelite is 'outside' the atmosphere it can actually see and 'know' or 'understand' the surface of the earth and the atmosphere much better than from a vantage point on the ground, keep in mind I was talking about perspective here. That was in interesting interpretation.

Well, I took your exact statement. This one (Here I bolded it for you):

And now you're asking me why I said that. I mean you're the one that said it. Not me. "please explain to me exactly how god would see time". Your exact words with one substitution "god" for "a being who is by definition outside of time".

You didn't in any way take my exact statement. You made an absolutely insane leap regarding the word 'outside' in order to create a fictitious argument that suits your point.

Again, Outside does not mean 'cannot see' in any sense of the word. Your statement was about the most asinine thing I've heard anybody say in a while.

EDIT: Also, notice my statement assumed He would see time, as I asked how he would see it from his unique vantage point (meaning in what manner, or what it would look like).
