>Getting back onto subject, I have yet to see any convincing data that
indicates that the present is the key to the past. Let me emphasize again, the
philosophical difference is whether or not the present is the key to the past. I
say “No” and I think you say “Yes”.

OK, you are probably right. But I don't see what other key there is to the past, unless that past is a purely speculative reconstruction based on almost no evidence. Maybe that's true of all reconstructions of the past. But if so, don't we have to resign ourselves to "history is bunk"?
