The universe was created ten seconds ago.

Not that I agree but I can understand that the all powerful God can create how he wishes, if that includes the current world etc etc as it exists right now with an perceived history mystery and fully formed pre loaded memories et al , then no one would ever be able to tell.

It wouldn't bother me

...no one should ever have that kind of power. ever.

Why not? Disregarding God on the matter.

You could argue that if information is inherited or shared on a sub atomic level then our current reality is in constant flux weather the start was by design or chance

We are still ourselves no matter what happens, oblivious to any change made at any time.

because absolute power corrupts absolutely.

a reply to: TzarChasm

Then everyone is corrupt, even to a tiny degree, if people are even slightly corrupt, then they are corrupt. We are all in total control within this context and all totally corrupt as corruption cannot have a clear definition because corruption is subjective to the observer.


An example, an individual dislikes all authority and power being central to one individual for fear of corruption, however an individual in such a position cannot be party to corruption when all the laws are controlled altered and abolished by that individual. One could then argue the point that to take away part or all of that control and power is in itself corruption.

no one has absolute power, fortunately.

which is why the worst we have seen is human corruption, not superhuman corruption.

I know this thread was created to poke the hornets nest of creationists, but there are a few issues with the idea. It's not just "you can't prove it wrong".

We only see the stars because the light has been traveling in space for millions of years. If the universe was created recently that light would not have reached us yet. I know you can try to claim it was "programmed" to have already reached us, but then you would have to explain how you can program or recreate something like that without a light source. It doesn't make much sense.

Not that the whole idea isn't silly to begin with, but you also have the issue of programming a memory. How do you program memories of events that never happened? Then you have the glaring question of WHY. Why bother creating a universe and deceiving people into thinking it's way older than it is? Why not just create it and let it go? Tons of extra work for no apparent reason, creating billions of individual memories that all have to line up near perfectly with the "past". It simply doesn't make sense, which pretty much puts it on the same level as young earth creationism. Zero evidence, tons of evidence to the contrary, and based on a complete guess.

why not? because time is a real thing. it inst not some illusion. its a state of change. as above so below. the physical universe and the non physical are both happening in real time.

thanks for your response

it does not exactly say much regarding our caretaker ship of our Earth not to mention the way we treat one another

Sure there is death and suffering all around us - there is also light love abundance caring; you can focus on the negative or pay more attention to the beauty around - your choice.

As to us bending the Matrix or tweaking it to our will, should we actually be able to measure and determine down to the individual unit of Planck. Which is possibly only 5-10 years distant,

Why wait 5-10 years and put your trust in "science" sharing it with you; whats stopping you in claiming your own powers in bending the Universe to your will?

there are YECs [ young earth creationists ] - who do ( with a straight face ) make such bat-crap claims as :

" satan created the dinosaur fossils to test our faith " .

and further - almost all creation claims from all relegions invove at least an element of " poof ... and < insert > was there fully formed "

last thursdayism is just common creationist claims put through the ad absurdium wringer
