    [t...] brackets = limited, finite as opposed to neverending or infinite.

    I suggest the term "eternity" for what is other than [t...].

    The existence of a god would include existence in (or during or at) [t...] but not separately than its existence in E. This is more or less because [t...] has existence in or at (but not during) E. It is not during E, because E has no duration, no passage of time.

    "While in the popular mind, eternity (or foreverness) often simply means existence for a limitless amount of time, many have used it to refer to a timeless existence altogether outside time. By contrast, infinite temporal existence is then called sempiternity. Something eternal exists outside time; by contrast, something sempiternal exists throughout an infinite time. Sempiternity is also known as everlastingness.[1]"

    So the short length of t, time seems to indicate the existence of the created
    heavens and earth is very short in comparison to all eternity, even though it
    may seem very long to our extremely short life within time. Is that the idea
    of the graph?

    The creation of the heavens and earth (as well as the creation of angelic beings) took place well before and was already

    in place at the creation of Adam and Eve in the Garden when God wound the big clock on the wall and started it ticking.

    Maybe, I do not understand. Are you saying the heavens and the earth
    were created before time began instead of at the beginning of time?

    The problem with things that are eternal as in 'outside of time' is that they are static as far as we are concerned. God as described in most religions is not static and is therefore at least in part, not eternal.

    Yes, long before God's Perfect Plan called for mankind to enter stage left.

    The holy Bible says God does not change. What does that mean to you?
