What did God do before He created anything? It’s a question that invites both wonder and mystery — and in this episode, we dive into how philosophers and theologians have wrestled with it for centuries. Is time something that flows on its own, as Newton imagined, or is it something that exists only in relation to God and creation? We explore whether God is timeless — dwelling in an eternal “now” as Boethius described — or everlasting, moving with time without being limited by it. Along the way, we consider what it means for God to sustain the universe, how divine immutability fits with action in time, and what “zero-time” might mean for a Creator who stands both outside and within His creation.
This week the Curious team dive into this mystery in the company of theologian and philosopher Alan Padgett. Relating to Alan’s book ‘God, Eternity, and the Nature of Time’; Alan and the team explore God’s relationship to time and eternity, and how God can remain changeless in an ever changing world. Join the team this week for a thoughtful and enlightening episode
