Objection Number 2:
What does "the past ended in the present" mean? Does "present" refer to the time the argument was written? If so, then the argument is false, since the argument itself is now in the past.
Or does the past end .. NOW? Oops.. you missed it... try again... NOW... oops you missed it... etc.
The "past" is subjectively continuing. It is extending and extending and hasn't ended. Today will be the past tomorrow, and tomorrow will be the past after tomorrow. So the claim that the "past ends now" make it seem like the past has multiple ends, which is absurd. It has no end. It will end only when time itself ends, if ever.
