The Culturally Incoherent Economy 4

I will now digress on time. I believe that I will follow an Aristotelian framework, but it's been a long time since I read Aristotle so I may be a little off. Each moment in time consists of two things, an event bound by its limit and the specific time unit. I will simply say that a second is the smallest unit of time for convenience. At two o clock, I was studying. The event is studying and the time unit is two o clock.
Now, to say that time has an absolute existence is to say that all present moments in the third dimension are intersected by time, so all of space events happening now are intersected by a constant magnitude that is called time. In the fourth dimension which is "Time," one moment encompasses all of time in the third dimension. The extension of another dimension from the third dimension allows you to see the changes of a lifetime in one moment. So time in the third dimension must pierce through the limits of the third dimension to one moment in the fourth dimension. As one adds more dimensions, that moment becomes smaller and smaller until it becomes nothingness which means that there is really no time, just translations of time.
So, if you don't believe that God created Time, then time doesn't exist. You're living in eternity, the present moment in which all time is eternally present which doesn't exist.
I know that this is somewhat of a specious argument, but I am trying to draw a parallel between liberalism and the idea that anyone who is not a conservative is a liberal and that all liberal beliefs are connected through interconnectness... that this argument is false. Liberal beliefs came out of false assumptions about knowledge (empty mind) and also false assumptions about metaphysics (the idea that we are all connected somehow).
