God's Experience of Time

God, as an immaterial being, does not experience time dilation despite the effects of gravity or motion in space. Instead, God's knowledge of time is based on cosmic time, which measures the universe's duration uniformly for all observers. This perspective implies that God perceives the present moment as it aligns with the cosmic timeline, independent of relativistic effects experienced by physical entities. Thus, when discussing God's awareness of specific times, such as 6 p.m. or 6.01 p.m., it is understood within the framework of this cosmic measure rather than the variable passage of time influenced by physical conditions.
