fruits that these equations convey.

In section II we review critically the problem of time and state clearly the approach that we follow in the present paper. A good non-technical review [@butt:gr-qc] as well as a technical review [@ish:gr-qc] may be helpful to understand the many points followed in the present work. In section III we consider a model and solve the classical Hamiltonian constraint to obtain the prescription of time. This section deals with the emergence of complex paths for a model with gravity plus a minimally coupled scalar field in a FRW universe. In section IV we obtain the Schroedinger-Wheeler-DeWitt (SWD) equation for the model described in III. In section V we obtain the solution of the SWD equation including the basic aspect of the wormhole dominance proposal [@bis:prd]. Assuming a Gaussian ansatz for SWD solution in the Lorentzian region, we show that it gives back the Hartle-Hawking wavefunction when continued to Euclidean spacetime. In section VI we make a concluding discussion.

===============================

The approach that we follow in the present work is termed as the emergence of time before quantization, though less persued in the literature. We therefore spend some words following the
