[Serious] Is the Past Real?

[Anomalocaris]

This should convince anyone and everyone that the past is real:

It seems to me the reasons many people think past is not real is of much the same nature as the reasons for believing the Bible is literally true.     These reasons usually can not be defeated by either reason or evidence.


Also, the possibility that the past is not real really can not be excluded.   It is just that the past being real is so much simpler an explanation for why there appears to be a past,  so it deserve to be given a much higher probability estimate.
