I see Heidegger's idea of
Being as Time in line with that tendency of intellectuals to overlook
the fact that the “names” of things are an abstraction which only
point toward the reality of the thing named---the abstract name is
not the thing-in-itself. All philosophy and theology is full of this
metaphysical error, with God, Being, and Truth as only names
and abstractions, often with no connection to real objects.
“Time” is a secondary
abstraction or name for the actions and evolution in time of living
or dead objects. Objects are the real being, not the abstract name
for the course or period they move through. The highest evolved
material-not-spiritual Beings are called Godhood, which are evolved
to in the material-supermaterial world.
Godhood, religion,Truth,
need not be lost when we bring our thinking back to real, evolving,
material objects, and that seems to be the fear or concern of the
intellectual creators of abstractions who make Gods of names.
