> the past, a human mental concept, only exists in our perception of now.

I don't see the past as a "human mental concept".  The concept of the past might be a human mental concept, but not the past itself.  Nor do I see the past as existing.  Whatever existed in the past might not exist now.

> Your premise is; that time exists independent of man - could you please  show how you know this?

I don't see this as one of my premises.  Some aspects of time might be independent of man ("Time and tide wait for no man"); some aspects might not be.  We know in what way time is independent of man in the same way we know in what way it isn't. 

[Micah]
> Who could have put time there (other than us)?

I don't think time has been put anywhere by anybody.

[Micah]
> What is time?

Time is what is measured by clocks.  But this isn't a definition or analysis of "time".  Possibly time cannot be analyzed as something simpler (i.e., possibly "time" cannot be defined.)
