What about each of us as a person? None of us today were alive during the Revolutionary war, so how can we be certain it happened? What about events that happened before you were born? You didn't observe them. Did they happen?

By the theory they are working out, the big bang couldn't have happened unless someone was there to observe it in some fashion. It is not hte finnaly theory, but it is what they got so far, or at least last time I heard anything on it. So unless there is something or someone out there that can see time in reverse.....
There were people around fot he Revolutionary war, so it was observed, but in a way, we are observing the RW, even now. I observe people that are older then me, and they observe people older then them, ect, all the way back. There is a chain of observation that can be followed. Where it get's tricky is where the chain starts, and who started it. Does it start, or does it loop back on itself somehow? But that, is even farther off topic, so I won't get into it.
