    Key Terms

    Cognitive resources(referring to human mental limitations)
    The mental abilities and thinking power that humans have available—basically, our brainpower and capacity to understand things.
    Eternity(how God's knowledge encompasses temporal possibilities)
    In this philosophical context, not just endless time, but a state of existing completely outside of time—all moments happening at once from God's perspective.
    temporal apprehension(epistemology and philosophy of time)
    The ability to understand or perceive things as they relate to time—basically, how well you can grasp what's happening in time.
    tensed truths(epistemology and philosophy of time)
    Statements that depend on when they're true—like 'it is raining now' versus 'it was raining yesterday.' They're called 'tensed' because they involve time (past, present, future).
