Oh and BioLogos, that's what I'm trying to figure out...how do you define time?Also, I hope you didn't take my signature as something anti-Christian/religion. It's not meant that way at all.
1) Does something need a spatial location in order to exist? Counterexample for theists: God.
2) Does something need a "form" in order to exist? (Counterexample for theists: God? Hesitantly)
3) Our memories, historical artefacts, etc. Of course these could be unreliable (*thinks of YECs and fossils...*) but the simplest explanation is that the past happened rather than appears to have happened.
And I have nothing against your quote (indeed, it's quite true). It was just that it mentions time, so it was a sort of proof that you do believe in time/the past really.
