2) referring to Frank Tipler’s Omega Point scenario. “ divine reality, according to Tipler, does not come into being only at the omega but is to be thought of as free from all the restrictions of time at the omega,” said German theologian Wolfhart Pannenberg in “ Systematic Theology” (Vol. Similar or at least related concepts of God and time have been formulated by leading Christian theologians. Perhaps the physics of theology has something to do quantum effects and time loops. These entangled concepts of time and causation are beyond current physics and language, and therefore can’t be formulated more precisely at this moment.

But once God exists at the end of time, at an unattainable distance in the future, He is present and acts in the universe at all earlier times, and therefore He is the omnipotent and benevolent God of Christianity at all times.” “God could emerge asymptotically from the universe and come to full being, omnipotence and benevolence at the end of time.

The passage above is one of the best formulations of a possible relationship between God and time, which I have outlined as: So to speak, God, who created all things in the beginning, is himself created by all things in the end.” Perhaps the final result of the cosmical process is the attainment of full cosmical consciousness, and yet (in some very queer way) what is attained in the end is also, from another point of view, the origin of all things. “Perhaps the ultimate flower is also the primal seed from which all sprang. “Perhaps (who can say) from the point of view of eternity the end of the cosmos is also its source and its temporal beginning.” “ conception of time itself is now turning out to be very incoherent and superficial,” said Stapledon. In 1948 Stapledon, gave a talk titled “ Interplanetary Man?” at the British Interplanetary Society, organized by Arthur Clarke. Then I embarked on a lifelong journey in Stapledon’s universe. When I read these words a quarter of a century ago I was only vaguely aware of Olaf Stapledon.

I’ve usually been disappointed Stapledon is unique. Clarke - and through Clarke, Olaf Stapledon - sent me on a wild search through philosophy, looking for similar insights and experiences,” said science fiction writer Greg Bear in the preface to the collection “ The Wind from a Burning Woman.” He added:
