Yes. My existence isn't so important that it just carries on, magically effecting the world while also being defined as having no observable effects. In a billion years, either I have observable effects, or I don't. If I don't, then talking about a me existing makes no sense. How would you even define me any more? Any test you would run for "Did there used to be a Michaelos over there a billion years ago?" would give the exact same results whether or not there ever was one.
