A recent study done at Washington University’s department of psychology involved using MRI’s to image the brain. There's been a century of intensive research on how the brain recalls the past but precious little on how it projects into the future, something only humans are thought able to do.
They discovered that not only is the frontal lob involved, but that the areas associated with memory. The brain takes what it has already experienced and uses it as a basis for future thought.
This explains a curious psychiatric phenomenon - amnesiacs don't remember events from the past, but if you ask them, 'What are you going to do tomorrow?' they can't answer that, either. Apparently, imagining the future involves memories. So, if you don't have access to your memories, you won't be able to construct these novel images of the future.
Eccl 3:15 That which hath been is now and that which is to be hath already been and God requireth that which is past.
The word used here "requireth" is the Hebrew word meaning "to search out".
To get a picture of the future, we must 1st draw on a picture from the past. If I am imagining myself at the grocery store, the mental images that I have stored in my head are of the local grocery store -- it's not just coming out of thin air. I'm retrieving it from my memory.
