This is tough. I suspect myself that time is not what it appears but is simply a
description of how we experience things. Perhaps our perception of time is simply
something animals have developed to function better.

If we could exist without time to study it, then time might not have any meanig to
us at all.

I dont think the basis of religion is relevant. I think that they believe because
thay are afraid not to. They are afraid of mortality, or of being alone, or of not
being "special" etc. If not motivated by fear, then it is brain washing pure and
simple. Tell someone since birth that god is real, they believe it at incredibele
cost, there is lots of evidence to support that. I think that if SIN disappeared,
something else would take its place. I do agree that the concept of "sin" is very
relevant to current religion though.
