But its also potentially true. Its a wild and seemingly absurd statement, but hell, what if? What if 2 seconds ago some insane guitar player ripped it up and pulled te greatest guitar solo out of his ass? The awesomeness of his solo created vibration in the space-time continuum and ultimately created this little planet, Earth, inhabited by billions of creatures, humans, all created with these memories of the past, which never really happened because they were created 2 seconds ago.
What do
you think caused the physical world to come into existence, Hunter? The big bang, maybe? What the fuck, how illogical is that? A giant explosion that somehow creates an entire, perfect, infinite universe? Oh right, it can be backed up by saying its one big bang after another, but really. What are the odds that we exist in this one universe created out of the virtually infinite that have preceeded us? Are those odds so definite, so in your favor, that you would say that its more likely that the big bang happened than, say, a superbeing simply calling a universe into existence?
See what I'm getting at here? You can't base theories like this on logic, its one of the very few things that absolutely defies all human logic. But you're sitting here telling us that if we believe these other things, then
we're wrong because it doesn't make logical sense to
you. Again, it's no better than a religion trying to force their ideals onto others. If anything, it's worse, because it makes you hypocritical.
