This is a very bold assertion, bojan.
How do you know that time is independent of our consciousness ?
Where is your test for this ? How do you dissociate yourself (or other human consciousness) from the picture in order to make this bold assertion?
Fossils ??? These are objects for which we have devised a theory to explain their presence, and time is at the core of it. If it wasn't there, the observation would have no meaning.
I'd rather take the position of "I haven't got the foggiest idea of what time is, and whether or not, it is independent of our consciousness".

Yep. I can get that.
