A flawed one.

But you cannot experience that or given any evidence toward it. You have no experience of a "future", only the present can be known. If we are on an eternal, infinite timeline, you and I are at a single point--we are no dispersed across a line. And what's worse, we can only view the line as a left-pointing ray. The right is unknown from experience or evidence.
OK, I can't know there will be a future. But, looking back, when I made my post about now not being the end - whaddya know? I was right, because we are still here. And now is not the end either. I know this, because I typed now, and by the time I hit "submt" that split second will have long passed.
