"How is there a future, when there is no one to give thought of the future?"

"I don't know;..."

Ok, Ok, you seem to have stopped your silly GGGGing for now, so I'll give you a hint. The key word in the statement "How is there a future, when there is no one to give thought of the future?" is "is". There "is" a future but it always and only exists in the present. So, it becomes a "present future". It is a real part of our ability to think about things in the present....same with past. We are stuck with a "present future" and a "present past" during our temporal existense as a tool for making sense out of the temporal universe. You, however, can never "be" in the past or in the future. So, you can't prove anything but an ongoing present.
