TONY: "Time has no independent existence apart from the order of events by which we measure it." That is precisely what I have been trying to say the entire time. It is a measurement assigned an arbitrary, agreed upon value.-Defending your belief in the reality of God, you wrote: 
"There are numerous unseen forces that we can measure by their affect on the world around us, i.e. Gravity, Magnetism, Centrifugal Force. We do not visually see them, we can not touch, taste, hear, or smell them. Yet, we know that they exist, even if our understanding of them is incomplete."-Effect follows cause; we grow old; things are born, live and die; we have memories; matter changes....Time is an unseen force that we can measure by its effects on the world around us. We do not visually see it, we cannot touch, taste, hear, or smell it. Yet we know that it exists, even if our understanding of it is incomplete.
