[00:00:00]If you adopt a B theory of time, it is a theological disaster.

[00:00:05]>> The nature of time will affect all of the questions that we want to ask.

[00:00:08]>> Christ never comes down from the cross.

[00:00:11]The body in the tomb never rises from the dead. On the black universe view, the stain of evil is indelible. It's never done away with.

[00:00:20]>> You are a Christian theist.

[00:00:21]>> I'd be fascinated what you make of Emily as an atheist theologian.

[00:00:25]>> Well, I hope that you're in transition.

[00:00:28]Um, >> Bill is what philosophers call an a theorist of time, >> a tensed theorist of time.

[00:00:35]>> I exist in this present moment. Future events are not real. Past events are not real.

[00:00:40]>> Emily embraces a tenseless theory of time.

[00:00:44]>> On the B theory, all moments of time are equally real.

[00:00:47]>> Intrinsic change is impossible. You just have different temporal slices of the four-dimensional worm. And that completely undoes orthodox Christian doctrine of salvation.

[00:00:59]>> The primary reason that I am a B theorist is the scientific.

[00:01:03]>> Your understanding of relativity theory is confused.

[00:01:07]>> I think it might be a little unfair to say that I'm confused. It's not a universal present moment if it's within a reference frame.

[00:01:12]>> The universe is a clock. It's God's clock.

[00:01:16]>> It seems Bill like you've been committed to three times. Do you believe you can be a Christian and believe in a B theory of time?

[00:01:24]>> Yeah.

[00:01:24]>> Emily represents a new wave of philosophical theologian that is engaging with these issues of time in a new way that hasn't been done for.
