However, past and future must exist to some degree. Like there was a time before I ate the cookie, there is a time when I am eating a cookie and there is a time when I'm through eating the cookie. This is undeniable. So past and future must exist, somehow
I think that there is only one time that never changes, what changes is the cookie. There are many different states for it, but only one time for it.
Once you ate it, the cookie is gone, it doesn't exist as "the past". (there is a memory about it, but thats not existance). The same with the future cookie. Only difference is that we can talk about a potential state for the cookie there, but that's just in our minds, not in reality. Like saying Superman exists.

like saying time is just a particular state of a physical secuence. it stays where it is, but the secuence itself doesnt.
Mmmmmmhhh... cookies.
