Quote# 64408

Last Thursdayism is false because I clearly remember events from before Last Thursday. It does not follow that God could have fixed our minds and experiences to make us think we only felt things before last Thursday. For example I have a note with the date on it, "Wednesday, July 15, 2009." This would not be possible if the world was created on "Thursday July 16, 2009."

I think Self-Mutation chose the blue pill.

anonymous: Very good! You've shown that you can actually reason. Now apply that ability to your own beliefs.

Precisely. That's why LastThursdayism was revealed to us True Unbelievers. We are oracles, Ave Discordia! RAmen.

Not at all. Last Thurdayism holds that the universe was created last Thursday in such a way that it looked older, complete with false memories, fake fossils, etc. In other words, it's CREATIONISM on a shorter time scale.

WOW. There is faulty reasoning used by a fundy who is denying another fundy's faulty belief.

[btw - Last Thursdayism, also called the Omphalos hypothesis, is the belief that for the world to be functional immediately upon creation, God created things like mountains, canyons, tree growth rings, fingernails, and other things that could indicate age of the earth, and since they were created that way they could not be used to determine the age of the earth, therefore the age of the earth cannot be determined by worldly means - a very fundy belief supported by some creationists]

"Last Thursdayism is false because I clearly remember events from before Last Thursday."
FAIL. That's not what Last Thursdayism is.

"It does not follow that God could have fixed our minds and experiences to make us think we only felt things before last Thursday."
Why not? Being omnipotent, it's certainly in God's power. Maybe He chose not to do so - ever though of that?

"For example I have a note with the date on it, "Wednesday, July 15, 2009." This would not be possible if the world was created on "Thursday July 16, 2009.""
Correct. Now let's apply this further. If you don't support Last Thursdayism, then you agree that the age of the earth CAN be determined by worldly means. And every dating method scientists have used indicates an Earth that is thousands of years old. Therefore young earth creationism is false as well.

That was a close one! The point nearly collided with Self-Mutation's head!

Nah, just kidding. It went way too high to pose any threat.

If God (or Satan, I'm not going to judge) is apparently faking evidence that the Earth is really, really old (as in billions, not a few thousand years), then why can't he simply make up a note and make you think you wrote it?

I have a note that says, 6:40 Tuesday morning, 2010, and I JUST wrote it. Or I think I did. BTW, what happened last Thursday or for that matter a few seconds ago only exists in memory (faulty at best) and what will happen in the future does not in fact exist right now. Only the present does, it's all we have.

what???

How do you know your memories from before last Thursday weren't created by an outside force? And how do you know that note wasn't placed there on purpose, to throw you off? You don't.

But if god is all powerful then he could make that note. Here's a hint, if you don't want your arguments turned against you, shut up.

sorry wrong. The Great Fairy recreates the world EVERY thursday. How could it be LAST THURSDATISM if she actually did it three weeks ago ?

everything has been made logically consistant, so you do not notice.

Except bran muffins. The Great Fairy hates bran muffins , so she sometimes leaves them from the last creation.

But cave paintings are made by that Satin/Stan/Satan guy in order to trick us?
