I just found recently about Presentism and Eternalism, before we talk about it firstly we want to know what it is.

Presentism

Quote:Philosophical presentismis the view that neither the future nor the past exist.In some versions of presentism, this view is extended to timeless objects or ideas (such as numbers). - Wikipedia



Eternalism

Quote:Eternalism is a philosophical approach to the ontological nature of time, which takes the view that all existence in time is equally real, as opposed to presentism or the growing block universe theory of time, in which at least the future is not the same as any other time. - Wikipedia

The simple explanation is Presentism is arguedthat the past and the future are imagined concepts, and only the presentis real, but Eternalism is the opposite of PresentismIts based on the idea that all time exists simultaneously, but the observer determines measurement.

Which prefer do you believe and tell me why and don't bring religion stuff on here.
