If eternalism is the true nature of time, and all moments of all time always exist together, then there is no free will because every event must already be predetermined to allow the past, present and future all exist simultaneously. Many people are strong believers in free will and make their own choices in life, so eternalism cannot be correct because free will exists and is observable in everyday life. This is a valid objection to eternalism, because the two ideas appear to be incompatible. However, even if all the events of the past and future have already been determined and happen simultaneously, this knowledge does not allow us to move from the characters of the present to the future. Regardless of the nature of time, humans as a species are still only able to perceive time linearly, where we have chosen our past actions that put us on the path to the present, and our actions now will lead to the future. Furthermore, even if all time exists at the same time, all time must have had a point of genesis when all time that ever has and will ever happen began. At this point, when all time was created, there must have been an instant of free will that established how all time would exist forever, and in that instant you could create everything
