you need a continuous chain of evidence Nonsense! You need evidence, but you certainly don't need to know everything from the beginning of time to know what happened yesterday. The same pattern holds for other timespans. It's actually impossible to know everything that happened in the past. To do so would require enough information bits to record the items that existed yesterday, plus the changes that took place since the day before, and so on and so on. There is not enough bits in the static "now" to know all of the dynamic past. Knowing the past actually involves inferences of the influence that the past had on the present and those are never complete.
