Craig, Nothing exists 4.5 billion years ago, nor 1 million years ago, nor 6000 years ago. Now only exists and the past, a human mental concept, only exists in our perception of now. Your premise is; that time exists independent of man - could you please show how you know this? Who could have put time there (other than us)? What is time?

Let's look at a specific example: when did the earth come into existence? 1) 4.5 billion years ago (according to scientists) 2) 1 million years ago (according to early man) 3) 6,000 years ago (according to the Bible) If 1) is correct, then the earth existed prior to our experience of it.
