My thoughts: God is clear that time was made for man and not made for God. See Genesis 1:1, Gen 1:14-19, Josh 10:8-14, Mat 24:36, Isa 38:4-8, Job 9:7-10, Hab 3:11, Ecc 3:1-10, Amo 5:8, John 1:1-5 etc.

When God speaks, he speaks past, present, and future in the same voice. Therefore, prophesies/the word of God has been fulfilled, is being fulfilled, and has not been fulfilled in the passing of Man's time. Some prophesies are also circular being fulfilled more than once in the passing of Man's time. Therefore God does not move in time but moves time having man move in time. God has no beginning and no end (Alpha and Omega).

Stephen Hawkings statement that "I think the universe was spontaneously created out of nothing, according to the laws of science," Hawking, who died in March, wrote. "If you accept, as I do, that the laws of nature are fixed, then it doesn't take long to ask: What role is there for God?"

Please show me any scientific proof or a tested hypothesis that turns into fact that nothing creates nothing. God created time "In the beginning". What does science say you need to create? Time, space, matter, and an interacting force. God is the interacting force that created time for man. "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:" (Eccl 3:1-8).

Isa 40:6  The voice said, Cry. And he said, What shall I cry? All flesh is grass, and all the goodliness thereof is as the flower of the field: 

Isa 40:7  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: because the spirit of the LORD bloweth upon it: surely the people is grass. 

Isa 40:8  The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.

Forever. Forever? Forever ever? Eternity is timeless.

Have you looked at the work of PT de Chardin

Brilliant, thank you very much everyone, your suggestions are valuable!

You could also check the Brief answers to big questions of Stephen Hawking.

I think you should carefully read Catechism of the Catholic Church from par. 198-344.

God bless.

Boethius writes on this I believe in his Consolation of Philosophy, but it may be in his Theological Tractates.

We owe our concepts of time to religious concepts. Judaic religions have a concept of a beginning and end, often shared by science. Early Mesopotamian religions had concepts of change, based on dynastic forces. We have tended to project these onto our environment, including the universe.

Just read the bible about creation, it give smore information.

This is strictly philosophy of religion rather than theology, but you could look at Alan Padgett's God, Eternity, and the Nature of Time (London: Macmillan, 1992).

Super, thanks Gordon, this is very helpful.

You can access William Lane Craig's works

Theology Journals and Theologians can guide you more towards the direction.

Arhum Tajammal Thank you, this is very helpful!

The work of Robert Vosloo might be very helpful. He has done extensive work in this field.

It depends a bit on what you'd be prepared to concede as falling under the heading of 'scholarly theological resources'. The standard literature on this is almost entirely in German and was intensely and extensively pursued in Germany after WWII. It means immersing yourself, for a start, in Kant and Hegel, though there's also a substantial literature under the heading of "Wissenschaft des Judentums". As far as the substance of this literature is concerned (i.e. what this literature is about) it goes back to the 'universalienstreit' (controversy concerning universals) going back to the 13th or 14th Centuries. Do concepts 'reflect' reality (the realist position) or are they arbitrary 'constructs' that, we as human beings, make up for our own benefit? (The nominalist position.) This distinction itself is Aristotelian, i.e. precedes the Patristic incorporation thereof in St. Augustine through to Thomas Aquinas. The best modern authors I myself know are Hans Blumenberg and Karl Heinz Haag. Everything revolves around the consequences of the decision to treat time (and related categories such as causation and space) as a category that is entirely objective (i.e. entirely a matter of definitions), or whether one treats them in the Kantian sense as 'conditions for the possibility of rational thought altogether'.

Thank you, Dion A Forster and Frederik van Gelder, very helpful indeed!
