and then I watched Terryl Givens at a bookstore (benchmark books) give a talk and say the Mormon god is not outside of space and time.

He is correct. God outside time is classical theism (comes from Plato). Cs Lewis said you don't learn have to believe that to be considered orthodox.

Kaku also got the Bible wrong. Most Bible scholars believe God created out of chaos, not nothing.

I'm thinking he's also citing a made up story about Columbus. Oh well, irrelevant. Fascinating video.

Alma 40:8 indicates that God is outside of time.

Quote:

Now whether there is more than one atime appointed for men to rise it mattereth not; for all do not die at once, and this mattereth not; all is as one day with God, and time only is measured unto men.

But interestingly, this article refuses to cite Alma 40:8.
