When one reads the holy books, a certain confusion sets in when those scriptures talk about time. How such a complex world could be built in 6-7 days? Why nowadays people do not seem to be living as long as they were in the biblical times? We think healthcare has improved over the years, but we no longer live a few hundred years as our biblical predecessors? What happened to us?
What is "The Day" nowadays? It is the time it takes for the Earth to make a single rotation along its axis, right? What was "The Day" before that? Before Earth existed? Why do we think that that pre-Earth day was the same in length as the one we have today? If our Creator has days and nights of his own, they are most definitely not measured the same way, nor have the same measurements in our time units as our days. When we power on our computers electricity spreads instantly in our view, although it takes some time to boot-up. But, if you have a self-replicating and self-launching program running on that computer that does not have a built-in delay between replications pre-programmed, it will eat up all the disk space, memory and processor resources extremely quickly. Don’t believe me? Try it. At first your processor will be overwhelmed, then memory, then disk space (because a hard drive is the slowest part in a system). By the time your computer boots, it will be hanged and non-responsive. That short time period for us consists of many generations for the self-replicating program. Time for us does not move in the same way as it does for the program, so why would it move the same way for our Creator and us?
The ages of biblical characters are skewed the similar way. While we have the same length of a day as they did, the definition of a year or the number of days in it is not necessarily the same. The meaning of the term may also have been lost in the many transitions over time since initially information was spoken from person to person, and then at some point it was written down. Who knows how many iterations it took to get to the form in which we see it nowadays.
Okay, so what about the space-time continuum and the theory of relativity? What about time running at a different pace depending on what the observer is doing or the presence of a gravitational field? Based on our great and powerful Math, the same events may be clocked differently depending on the position relative to the gravitational field and the speed of the observer. Math says that the closer the speed of the observer approaches the speed of light, the slower the time clocks for them, and when the speed of light is reached, the time stops for the observer. This seems to be the rule of our universe. When we power on our computers, the electric energy there grasps the hardware at the speed of light (adjusted for the type of electrical conductor/wires used), but the processors and the rest of the machine, while fast, still operate at a measurable and slower speed. The computer world has its rules, so does ours. Since we built our computers based on the rules that we know, they obey those rules, but not all of our rules and factors are really applicable to computers. It is safe to assume that our Creator built our world based on the rules known in his universe, but not all of the rules that exist there are applicable to us. The subject of how the time behaves in the outer universe is open for speculation.
