Perhaps... But, then again, consider God's promise of eternity. We may have to make use of all that space.

The Bible is clear... God's space and our space are not the same.

Now THAT is a great assumption. There's not even any evidence of that HERE... Nothing verifiable anyway.

Lol... Why remove God from the equation? Personally, I like knowing that, as a child of God, I possess a small portion of His own intellect and Spirit.

I still don't think you get it. God's eternity has no beginning or end.
Linear time is part of what God created for "us". It's our limitation.
