Not really; just that a good god would ensure that Descartes didn't have any 'clear and distinct' ideas that were not true.
Its funny, i had the same delusion. God is near perfect karma...perhaps the life of Descartes didn't warrant the goodness of God (for his distinct and clear ideas to ring true) in comparison to Christ's suffering, or perhaps that was not even within any of his reasoning.

We all have our cross to bear even Jebus although someone gave him that one and ran off.

That's not right. The wheel also touches the ground in the past. The circumference hasn't lost the past. Obviously, you're wrong!

The terms past and present and future are inter changeable so are not fixed as such
For the past was once the present and the future. The present was once the future
and shall become the past. The future shall become both the present and the past
The cosmological and physical arrows of time move in only one direction : forward
Because time travel into the past is impossible for no cause can precede its effect
Second Law Of Thermodynamics also states that decay can not be time reversible
As entropy increases over time and so can only go from the present to the future

Then we don't exist.

Well, this is happening, so obviously you exist. If you exist and there is only ever now, then you must be reality and everything that changes must be the illusion.
If one can find the source of thought, it all becomes very obvious.
