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

Tell you what, I can do one better. I can give you a practical example of how we are each correct. Study the way an old movie film works. Then, imagine having the same movie(i.e. locations, actors,scenes,etc) recorded from a million different camera angles, maybe even a few cameras that are recording something completely unrelated. Then ask yourself a couple of questions.-

  • Are all of these movies real?
  • Do the events in them exist anymore?
  • Are the films one continues stream, or a million instances strung together by the something we can not see within the framework of the movie?
  • Do each of the different camera angles reflect reality?
  • How can each of the different perspectives be real if they are all different?
  • etc etc etc

-I am not implying that one 'now' to the next is not strung together, simply that I do not think that the framework for this mechanism is human's conception of 'Time'.
