Ernest,
As a creationist I would reason from the events of the garden of Eden. Using the book of Genesis chapter five, you'll get to accept that Adam appeared in history about six thousand to seven thousand years ago, thereby contradicting observations made by science that man is over ten thousand years, contradicting observations that lions and other carnivorous animals have existed for tens of thousands of years. Disregarding literal creation week will give you problems even when understanding the flood of Noah.
Ok, on time. Let us assume the vacuumed space. If matter froze today to nothingness (God can do that), then after an indefinite period it is brought back into existent, you will agree with me that the two events (freezing and coming back) was separated by a duration of time beyond our measure but in reality, existed. The fact that you cant measure it doesn't mean it is not there.
Time measured by physicists is the illusion. How do they measure it? They use clocks made of atoms? How does speed affect behavior of matter? If high speed affects how atoms interact, thereby affecting how light from a source is reflected from an object to the observer's eyes, that effect does not affect time in itself, but how it was measured...the instruments of measure were affected, but not time.
You have the freedom to be right and the freedom to be wrong, but you don't have the right to be wrong!
