God does not play dice with the universe.

Wrong. I could influence 1000 people to vote.
I could do the smallest little thing that could set off a chain reaction of events that can make dramatic change.
Human law is limited but the guidelines of the universe open up all sorts of possibilities.
Anyway , I'm prolly more like JC in the sense that he hung out with bums and winos

One Zen master studieed his whole life and had one pupil. Another did the same but had 500 pupils. Both are just as valid.

If God is the designer of the universe, then God stops me from defying gravity and other laws of nature.

How did it come about that there were these creatures, human beings, who had a "need" to construct time ?

You think that without humans there would be no time?

You can stop yourself too, but ultimately it is God that controls everything in existence while simultaneously allowing the creatures He calls man to operate under their own volition.

It's a complete mystery how God does it. Thing is though is that God has limitless authority while man is confined to a finite sphere. God is God and man is a created being in many ways like God.

It's a great thing to know.

Travel fast enough, long enough, and one could outlive the entire universe.

It's good to know that it's a complete mystery? What?
