This excerpt from The Confessions by Saint Augustine explores Augustine’s struggle to comprehend the nature of time and its relation to God's eternal existence. Augustine seeks to understand how God, who is outside of time, could have created the world, questioning how God acted before the world's creation. He examines the concepts of past, present and future, arguing that these are simply different perceptions of time within the human mind. Through a series of reflections, Augustine grapples with the complexities of divine timelessness and the human experience of time, ultimately affirming that God is beyond human comprehension.
