0:00.0 | Hello Dr Craig, I have been a huge fan of your work and you have been |
0:18.0 | extremely influential on my thinking regarding God and time to which my |
0:22.1 | question is about. |
0:23.6 | In a relatively recent Closer to Truth interview on your view of God and time you stated that in God's |
0:29.0 | timeless phase, since time doesn't exist yet, God does not have tense knowledge because there are no tense truths. |

1:25.1 | God bless and I look forward to seeing you at the sound faith conference in November. |
1:29.6 | Matthew from the United States. |
1:31.6 | Your question makes perfect sense, Matthew. |
1:36.2 | In my view, God is timeless, Sans creation, |
1:41.3 | and in time since the moment of creation. |
