The philosopher's eye is very insightful (eyes to see GOD)....EDITED
I've seen the world change in the last 50 years (I'm 57 years old) in it's THINKING and it's ability to FEEL SENTIMENT. People used to CARE about each other GENUINELY.
In America, the "American dream" was a true ambition and on it's way to becoming a reality.
There is a book called "1959, the year that changed everything" (it compares to the song "Bye bye, Miss American pie", the song was never explained, but is thought to allude to the death of Buddy Holly 1959, Buddy Holly songs 'personified' that "dream").....it was pretty much the 'industrial age' and more the 'electronic age' that caused so much of a CHANGE in society/humanity.
So, now we must realize that humanity (this GREAT and POWERFUL human mind) has managed to never tare apart/destroy nature along with humanity itself......(or is this really such an amazing "fact"?).
There are some people who don't conform to the status quo that believe that "TIME" is not so relevant to reality, or even to the true "human condition" as we have been taught.

...so, Mira, what is all this talk about not relying on what has been handed down to us by ancient generations?...maybe God has given you "eyes to see"?.
With the way I grew up (mind-bending suffering), I learned not to be a "bleeding heart" (it was MY SUFFERING that I cared about, but I still care about my fellow human, GOD TAUGHT ME). I learned not to care GENUINELY about "time" (ten years ago, I told someone that the "Watergate Scandal" happened a "FEW YEARS ago").
When a person claims to be giving you a "GIFT", TIME will reveal if that so-called "GIFT" was really a "GIFT" that is FREE and was given GRACIOUSLY (without expecting something in return....such as a "pat on the back" or expecting you to be GRATEFUL) or whether it was an IMPERIALIST "gift". If they expect something IN RETURN, then the "GIFT" was not free or given graciously, it was given IMPERIALISTICALLY.
So, "time" is what causes the human being to anticipate (hope for) a "reward"/reaction of VAIN PRIDE/ego/vanity (it is simply human nature, but The Lord's will is that we overcome it).
Solomon summed up human nature as "All is VANITY" (Ecclesiastes 2:17)....
...............(Sigmund Freud explained that not ALL ego is bad and that every human being needs an "ID", pronounced like "is").
"Time" is not the way to understand God.
Fomenko gets really wacko when talking about Jesus, but you'll find that often when someone insists on being an intellectual instead of ADDRESSING REALITY, they will go 'off-track' very quickly (God is "reality"......a cosmic reality, generic, no "partisan brand"). I haven't really reviewed any of these "time theories" (I don't care about ANYTHING).
....(look at Luke 6:35).
