We start from the classical Hamiltonian constraint of general relativity to
obtain the Einstein-Hamiltonian-Jacobi equation. We obtain a time paramete
r prescription demanding that geometry itself determines the time, not the
matter field, such that the time so defined being equivalent to the time th
at enters into the Schrodinger equation. Using a semiclassical approximatio
n we obtain an equation for quantum gravity in Schrodinger form containing
time. We restrict ourselves to a minisuperspace description. Unlike matter
held equation our equation is equivalent to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation in
the sense that our solutions reproduce also the wavefunction of the Wheeler
-DeWitt equation provided one evaluates the normalization constant accordin
g to the wormhole dominance proposal recently proposed by us.
