[net.religion] more sand in the omni/free gears

Just a thought which I will let the more philosophical types (on both sides of
the issue) develop:

Many & many a time it has been said that the universe (including all of time
as we perceive it) "has been" created, as though God were moving along a time
line of his own.  I think the concept of "unbounded Now" dropped on the floor
somewhere along the line.  Would it not be better to say that the entire
universe (including the entirety of our time) "is being" created?  Of course
this leaves open the question:  By whom?  Is God doing all the work or are
we helping in this creation?

Go to it, Jon and David (sounds almost like something out of I Samuel!).
