I've often wondered that. Sometimes I do pray about past things.
If, as so many people believe, there are dimensions higher than time, and if God exists outside time in those higher dimensions, then change in the past is possible.
We probably just don't think about it because we can't understand higher dimensions any more than 2D creatures can understand a 3D world (or can they?).
I don't know, I guess, because it has already happened and it seems stupid to pray for the outcome that YOU ALREADY HAVE (because the past can't change). BUT I am very accepting of Einstein's theory that if you could go to the past and "change" things, you would only be changing them so that they occur like you remember, anyway.
There aren't any movies that do this, so I can't give examples.

I have nothing to say, but wanted you to know I read your comment.
ReplyDeleteProcessing.
Thanks. I was wondering if you'd caught on to the whole "Janelle is programmed to get and give a response" thing. Not everyone does, you know.
ReplyDeleteLet me know when you have something to say (I just got a CMWLIIA quote stuck in my head: "Now I have nothing to say. I will say it like THISSS!")

I'll keep praying.
Yeah. Exactly.
ReplyDeleteWho cares if movies do this? I mean, "Back to the Future" (though awesome fun) got it all wrong.
Oh, but there was a decent Dr. Who episode that did a great job of it (the first episode with Martha; Caitlin could tell you which one it is).
ReplyDeleteIt happens pretty rarely, because it's not a good story to say "YOU WENT TO THE PAST AND DID NOTHING, CONGRATS!"

ReplyDeleteYeah. Filmmakers aren't that creative.
ReplyDeleteWho cares? At least someone is.
