Refuting Phillip Dennis’s Errors in Physics, ASC, and Philosophy – Part 6
In the previous article, we examined the concept of presentism – the belief that “only present things exist.” We found that there are two versions of presentism, two ways of interpreting the claim: a trivial version and a strong version. The trivial interpretation merely insists that only present things exist in the present. No one would disagree with that. The strong version claims that only present things exist at all – in other words, “only present things exist, have existed, or will exist.” The strong version is clearly false and antibiblical. There are past things that have existed that no longer exist, such as the Tabernacle. And there are future things that will exist but do not exist in the present, such as tomorrow’s sunrise.
