Stathis, I know that's your point. You are just restating it once again, but you are completely UNABLE TO DEMONSTRATE IT without using some example in which time is already FLOWING.
Since you can't demonstrate it, there is no reason to believe it. Belief in a block universe becomes a matter of blind faith, rather than a logical consequence of anything, and it is certainly NOT based on any empirical evidence whatsoever.....
