trust me, there is only now, it is a constantly changing now but past and future are strictly human concepts -- until you can prove me wrong

if you didn't have memory you wouldn't even be aware of a past and it wouldn't matter - you'd only be aware of the constant now...kinda like a dog
Uhmm... ok, the whole tomorrow doesn't exist thing... that can be argued until... well, tomorrow.

I agree, it doesn't exist, the past doesn't exist... the future... what ever. But just because humans gave names to them, doesn't mean that it didn't happen or won't happen.

Time is happening.. time is mother nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

In some form or another... time has existed, and will exist for ever... to say that it's a human concept is kind of an egotistical way of thinking. We mean nothing to the grand order of things. To think we could come up with something like a past or future is kinda overstating our capabilities.
