I disagree.
Eternity would be infinite. Therefore everything would happen. All at once.

If you had a football field in empty space how would you know how big it was,what would you use to measure it?

You have already admitted that the present is an abstract perception.
The present is all that exists. So hence forth how can time be real when we all live in the present,dont we?
Distance is another abstract perception. I dont think you understand that you can not prove a non conscious reality. We invent time/distance.

Lol my grandma would slap you back! Answer the question. You answered. Right. What is a yard? Put a yard stick in empty space,how would you tell it measures a yard?edit on 9-10-2013 by symptomoftheuniverse because: (no reason given)
all the above is your oppinion.what you percieve but your totally and very rudely wrong. And you should be embarrased. The distance is between your ears. You probably dont even know theres no such thing as a straight line. So appologise and admit you are arrogantly wrong,the worse kind of wrong.

Its tautological, just like numbers. 1 yard = 1 yard. 1 yards = 1 yard + 1 yard. So if you have a yard stick you know it equals a yard, if you have 2 you know it equals 2 yards. If you measure a piece of rope with a yard stick that rope equals a yard of distance, 2 yards of rope equals 2 yards. The words are arbitrary, a yard is man made, but the existence of distance is not man made, it is real. The yard, and inch, and foot, and mile are man made systems of consistently incremental measurement to overlay on top of the reality which contains stuff that exists in different places, the distance between you and me is a real distance of space, just like the distance between you and the sun is a real distance, the distance between you and the sun is larger then the distance between you and me. We can use incremental measurement systems to determine the difference in distance between objects. This sort of stuff is learned in 3rd grade. You are embarrassing me as a human.
