Ok.. I realize I am pushing things a bit here.. But I like to do that.. So bear with me.. I love to split hairs when I might learn something from it or challenge the status quo of thinking.
First of all, distinguishing requires perception. I am not worried about whether time can be perceived, so much as whether it existed.
At some point the energy had to meet.. But in order for energy to meet two things have to happen.. a)the energy has to exist, and b) the energy has to move to meet. Movement requires time. Therefore, time would actually have to exist prior to the intial energy meeting in order for the existance of the energy to begin with and then the meeting to occur.
So I really feel like I am sort of answering my own question.. Because time had to exist before the universe in order for the universe to be able to exist.
