The Illusion of Time (The nature of a \'Creator\')

If time is an illusion and I suspect this could be true, then everything else is also an illusion, eg intelligence, life, free will, consciousness. For example if time is an illusion, then I don't see how concepts like velocity, acceleration and energy are not also illusions.

The are most definately illusions. If you could take a snapshot of 'now', then you would see no acceleration, no velocity. Energy is different, energy (to the best of my knowledge) can exist without time, but the standard of measurement would have to change.-

It just means something is not what it seems - it does not mean that something does not exist.-If time exists, point me to the past or future. Point me to anywhen except right now. You can't. And neither can the worlds top minds. Past, present, and future can only exist now, in the form of memory, prediction, and current state. -As I said in my earlier post with the racketball analogy, when can record and infer, but those are not real data, they are guesses with inherent flaws limited to the sensory perception of the observer or the observers instrumentation. Whats more, right now is limited to your current perspective, so right now, as you know it, is only real to you, and even that much of reality is limited to what your senses can detect.-Maybe that is what we are only beginning to scratch the surface of with quantem physics. To steal a quote from a game that spoke with surprising clarity, "Nothing is real, everything is permitted." Atoms existing in two places at once, 'nothing' containing energy, time not existing as we know it. What I wonder is if man kind will be able to survive long enough to make that leap.
