Time does not exist at all, the Universe is itself just changing from one State to the Next State. There is no Time Dimension at all.
Some theologians believe time exists also in Heaven. If that’s so it can’t be like any time we know about.
It is some latest physics theories that there isn't a 4th Time dimension, and the universe is moving from one state to the next.
And this programming example was a good illustration.

Not sure what religion has to do with it.
Either time is a necessary condition for experience, or it’s a measurable object of experience. It can’t be both. You can’t have time in time. Which one do you believe in?
Or, another way. Even a Theory of Everything, at it's root is just Math, it isn't 'what the universe actually is'. So we'd still need belief?
> The basic phenomenon here is that synchronizing different processes, establishing shared state, or imposing an order on events requires communication among the processes. In essence, any notion of time in concurrency control must be intimately tied to communication. It is intriguing that a similar connection between time and communication also arises in the Theory of Relativity, where the speed of light (the fastest signal that can be used to synchronize events) is a fundamental constant relating time and space. The complexities we encounter in dealing with time and state in our computational models may in fact mirror a fundamental complexity of the physical universe.
