Answer:

According to Augustine, God has been for eternity. that means he is not subject to any time or space.

Step-by-step explanation:For men, time began with the creation of world. there might be this argument that time was understood by man only after creation as it is a concept that comes into being after the creation of the universe. According to Augustine's philosophy the last three options can be correct. Time is an entity that requires some kind of motion to be clocked, like falling of sand in hourglass.
