Growth, and it's inevitable outcome--the natural process of the breakdown (decay/corruption) and recycling of carbon-based life is not proof of time--only proof of the second law of thermodynamics.

If stranded in space without a clock, you would not be able to tell time. But that does not stop your body from growing older. It does not stop the hair from growing on your body.
No, that's what we call 'mortality'--it is the duration of conscious awareness for any given entity or (myself) group of entities (mankind).
Man needed a starting point to begin a project, and an ending point to know when the project was completed. The difference between them is time.

But time is 'relative', so how does that effect things? The faster you go, the more time 'dilates'. "Space=time" does confirm the idea that it only exsists with the context of 'creation'. Outside the universe is out side time.

I think it's safe to say that Time as we know it inclusive to a specific Universe (That's only valid if the theory of parallel dimensions is true.) and that the 'sea' that the universe exists in wouldn't have a dimension of 'time' as we know it.
