    What connection is there between the eternalism-presentism debate, and the debate about temporal parts? It’s natural to suppose that presentists should be endurantists, claiming that things are wholly present whenever they exist. If you don’t believe in either the past or the future, there’s nowhere and nowhen for any ‘missing’ parts to be. This argument from presentism to endurantism needs some work, however. Presentists think that only the present exists, but they’re happy for us to talk about
