Only because a lot of things are going on in your body, your heart beating for one. It's not time you are feeling or detecting, if it was, we wouldn't have wind up clocks, or electric clocks that looses the time with power outage, we would have clocks run by time. lol.

No! First, there's no such thing as timekeeping devices that run at different rates of time (unless they are dilated, and if they were dilated I couldn't "have" both at once).
Second, the devices could measure different intervals, but that's not the same as running at different rates of time.
There is no dilated clocks silly, you keep mixing religious doctrine with reality. My slow watch kept a very different rate of time than my work clock, and after a few warnings I bought a better watch, a Timex.

The problem I am pointing out with calling speed relevant but time irrelevant is entirely a matter of definition.
"Speed" means "rate of motion with respect to time". To call rate of motion with respect to time (speed) relevant while also calling time irrelevant is you contradicting yourself.
Rate of motion will get you from point A to point B whether or not you had time. Also, if you had a fast watch, do you think it would make your 'rate of motion' increase?
This is basically what Clownboat had been saying until he got fed up in post 349. I'm just about done, too.
There's nothing anyone can do if you refuse to understand this. You will alienate everyone.
If the truth hurts, or offends you I am sorry. This is a debating forum, I'm not about to give in to religious foolishness. Do you even know what the OP states? You think even for a minute that I would allow anyone reading this to believe there are other 'creators' out there?
If we were debating witchcraft, wouldn't you defend it with everything you got? Divine Insight does and i respect him for that. But when he tries to force his religious views on others, that's debatable. So is it OK if I defend my OP I was called out for?

The universe is that age relative to Earth. It's also that age relative to a hypothetical observer that has not time dilated relative to the universe at the Big Bang (there is a difference, technically, but it's virtually nothing).
The Universe is 13.75 billion years old relative to earth? How old would it be relative to Tatoonie like planet Kepler 16b which they say has two suns?
Probably about the same.
Of course when your universe revolves around your 'religious POV'
Try that with your special relativity doctrine and see if it doesn't matter. But of course you will first have to answer my ongoing question, a simple one; "Is it 'speed' that causes
time dilation, or 'distancing' from the object you are traveling from?"
arian wrote:So me living in this universe could be experiencing billions of
different ages all at once?
In a manner of speaking, yes.
FarWanderer, if time is real as you claim, as it is presented in the Theory of relativity especially in 'time dilation' effects, then you would see me at trillions of different ages, and not just in a manner of speaking.

Yes, it is not as simple as just your age relative to yourself. Though, that may be what they are asking about. It's a matter of context.
Oh come on my friend, you know that's a croc of bull. Yea, .. like calling me and my relatives animals, apes, but if I get a lawyer the 'context' suddenly changes, right?
arian wrote:How long is your days, 'cause your timekeeping can effect my age also
No. Timekeeping methods don't change your age. You are still 58.5 earth years old (relative to yourself) regardless how long their planet's cycles are. It's nothing more than a perfectly mundane problem of measurement conversion, like converting miles to kilometers or Fahrenheit to Centegrade.
Oh no you don't, .. that would be my time, which is as I keep telling you, is not real and call it whatever I wish. Also, one watch could say I made the trip in one hour, the other that I did it in 1 1/2 hours, but my arrival would not change. I would be there no matter what 'time' people claim it took me to get there. It was my speed that got me there, time is irrelevant.
Look, 'time' is no different then Santa Claus, they both exist only in fairytales. Only time is much more useful in determining things, but always need to be calibrated, otherwise it's better not to even use it. Before you know it someone will make it a creator or something, as if it was real, with real effects.
arian wrote:, so for you Zuggz, I am 38 million years old, give or take a few billion years
In principle this is possible, depending on to what extent you have time-dilated with respect to Zuggz. However, like mentioned above, this has nothing to do with the difference in measurement methods.
OK, one more 'time'.
If I was 58 on earth, looked 58, and my ape cousins were whatever age, and I went on a long trip at .99999999999999999999999 speed of light, returned, my ape cousins may be all very old, some dead from old age right, yet I would have aged only a few minutes. In this scenario time is real, and has real effects on me and on my ape cousins, do you agree?
Either me distancing from earth, or the result of Einstein-speed, TIME has effected the people on earth and me. Now tell me HOW is it that no other planet or object in the entire universe that I live in and share my aging self would NOT be effected? I passed by my cousins Zuggs, if I was 'effected by time' and my ape cousins on earth were effected by time, then people on the planet Zugg had to be effected, and every object in the entire universe also.
But thanks be to God, time is not real no more than Santa or unicorns are.
arian wrote:, depends what I passed on the way here, and what speeds relative to those objects!?!?
No, it doesn't. All that matters between you and Zuggz is time dilation with respect to each other. Any time dilation with respect to other objects does not factor in the equation.
Exactly, it's your equation, and you say what it effects and what it doesn't, right?
Prove it, since logically, like in science that we have observed so far, and math that is actually useful, it is a total nonsense.
And since you claim your universe is expanding, then everything is moving "Relative to one another" and you are not God to say what time effects one object, but not the others. If you claim speed has an effect on time from one object to another, then it has effect on every object in the universe, including us animals, the age of the universe, .. everything.

You joke, but these kinds of arguments are not unheard of from young earth creationists who would like to reconcile their beliefs with Relativity.
No, .. it IS a joke. So is arguing about it, but hey, I'm game, I love comedy.
I am not a young earth creationist, I don't believe in time, remember? What is 'young'?
