Stathis, At least we AGREE there is NO empirical evidence for a block universe.
But there is OVERWHELMING evidence for flowing time and a present moment. The experience of our existence in a present moment is the most fundamental empirical observation of our existence. And all science, all knowledge, is based on empirical observation. So, in the face of this obvious weight of evidence, why do you insist on a block universe instead of a universe in which time flows? Isn't it crazy to reject what there is enormous evidence for and accept what there is NO evidence for?
