Time cannot be created/emergent
Time is fundamental variable of any dynamical theory. This means that time cannot be an emergent property of any dynamical theory otherwise we are dealing with a contradiction. Therefore time cannot be created/emergent.

Except that view has been falsified:

This differs from "scientific time" which attempts to measure the simultaneity if events (the Einstein frame of reference solution).
One can say that duration (real time) emerges from the mind as a manifestation of existence. And while it is continuous, there is a feeling of some change of this feeling when asleep.
There is a gap here:
Don't we exist when we are asleep and don't feel time?
I can be only speak for my own experiences. When I am dreaming I have no sense of duration, at least in the sense that I ordinarily feel duration when I am awake. There is a definite qualitative difference. The dream is just happening. However, when I am not dreaming.... ? Well this is not a state I can speak to because nothing is happening. I am not even sure such a state exists.
So, I go to sleep, some dreams occur, and I wake up. What happens while I am not awake? It's quite different but without the feeling of duration impossible to describe. Just images occurring.
