Eternalism says all times are equally real, and future and past objects and properties are real [Merricks]

Growing block has a subjective present and a growing edge - but these could come apart [Merricks, by PG]

Maybe only presentism allows change, by now having a property, and then lacking it [Merricks]

Presentist should deny there is a present time, and just say that things 'exist' [Merricks]
