Ok go with Kant's modification of Descartes's Cogito (I think, therefore I am). We experience everything through a wide variety of personal filters. (I'm throwing out the a priori notion.) Now our genius friend Einstein says time is relative. Couldn't you take that to mean that time is subjective? So if time is subjective, everyone has their own unique sense of time. If someone wants to believe that time doesn't exist as a past or future, then that is their reality. In my subjective reality, time is the fourth dimension. Actually space and time are the same thing (e.g. space-time). Space and time are radically intertwined. If you state that nothing existed in space a second ago, what were you sitting on? In my reality, I was sitting on a mess of atoms called a chair. I could get into uncertainty principle, but I'm a little too tired to think about it right now.
