God and time

Father Z has a discussion on time and eternity: How the early church fathers saw God as outside of time...so he is more than "eternal":

Eternity can be thought of different ways.
First, eternity can be completely independent of time. Something eternal in this sense is entirely outside of time. St. Augustine, who was a Neoplatonist in this sense, thought of God this way....
The Greeks, from Parmeides to Plato to Plotinus all wrote about eternity. Christian ideas of eternity were explored by authors like St. Augustine (+430), Boethius (+c.526), Eriugena (+c.877), St. Anselm (+1109), St. Thomas Aquinas (+1274).
When we say in these prayers that God is sempiternus we do not thereby believe as Catholics that God is “everlasting” in the sense of being in time, that is all points of time, but without beginning or end. God is eternal in the sense of being beyond time, entirely transcending time.

if you say "so what", it is because you aren't an astrophysicist.

God is outside the space/time continuum, and so even if you posit 12 dimensions, he is there...

and interestingly, sci fi author Orson Scott Card mentioned in an essay on a different subject that the God of the LDS is inside time...that figures, since the deity of the LDS resembles Zeus more than Jehovah...
