[[Augustine of Hippo]] wrote that time exists only within the created universe, so that God exists outside of time; for [[God]] there is no past or future, but only an eternal present.  One need not believe in God in order to hold this concept of eternity: for example, an atheist mathematician can maintain the philosophical tenet that numbers and the relationships among them exist outside of time, and so are in that sense eternal.

[[Near-death experience]] testimonies typically speak of eternity as a timeless existence by stating that portions of experiences in the eternal world lasted, say, "an hour or a month, I don't know.  There was no time."
