Because the mind in question exists outside of time.



God cannot be both omnipresent and only exist outside of time.

And God does change his mind more than once in the Bible, so clearly that God at least exists within the temporal universe.


> God cannot be both omnipresent and only exist outside of time.

How so? God exists simultaneously at all the moments that exist. Time was created by God, just like the universe was.

Imagine you are writing a book, where you, as the author, are also a character. You can interact with your characters as they do things - but you can also go back and change anything you want, and you can see the ending as well.

(Keep in mind that God always maintains free will - God doesn't force any human to act in any particular way, it's always their own choice.)


So clearly that God is a fiction, exactly like the Flying Spaghetti Monster, Thor, and all the other millions of gods that people made up.


What is the reasoning behind that tho? If the big dude created the universe, why couldn't he also experience time?


God also created time. So he's certainly aware of it, but it's something he causes, rather than something that happens to him,.
