It Happened Sometime Last Week
The Earth, the Sun, and the Moon were created sometime last week with the physical appearance of being billions of years old. In fact the entire universe was created sometime last week. I’m not too sure on which day it was. It is impossible to distinguish between what memory is real and what was created sometime last week. Everything we can recall before then, are illusions created sometime last week.
Our memories, history books, fossils, tree rings, light already on the way from distant stars, and so forth were all formed at the time of creation, sometime last week, and in such a state that causes them to appear to be much older.
Now, if all this happened sometime last week, then the memory of Darwin and everybody else must have been left with us for some reason. Was it to educate us… or to mislead us? And what about the ‘forbidden’ knowledge like genetic engineering & artificial insemination that we also received with the creation, sometime last week? Is it to be used or is it another Pandora’s box? (Am I alone in seeing some resemblance between Pandora’s box and a tainted fruit somewhere in the middle of a garden?) What other terrible pestilences can still befall us?
Of course, it is just another theory that is impossible to proof or to disproof. It only serves to demonstrate that our observations may not always sit well with ‘reality’. Who can tell what is real and what is virtual?
Absurd? Not really. More than half the earth’s population already believes that it happened this way. With grown trees, some in blossom and others bearing fruit, everything ready to serve their purpose on Earth. They only disagree about it happening sometime last week.
But the question that bugs me most, from a both philosophical and a scientific angle, is that if we cannot proof it in any satisfactorily way that it did not happen sometime last week, how can we be so sure that it did not happen 6000 years ago? Or alternatively, how do we know somebody did not quit his game a few minutes ago to restore us to a previously saved position?
May you have a glorious day. And think twice before you restore any saved games.

The last I had a yummy cupcake was....some time last week!
Chances are that it was just an illusion and that you have never eaten a cupcake in your entire life but I understand that you received a whole warehouse filled with cupcakes sometime last week. I can vividly remember visiting that warehouse on several occasions before last week (also an illusion) and will endeavor to visit it again some night soon. Somehow I only received a box with few stale cupcakes in it.
I must admit that it was not an equal opportunities affair. It is very obvious that the initiative was not started here in SA. Our constitution forbids discrimination like this. Did it happen here, everybody would have been the same age and looks with the same bank balance (about US$8.99). Everything here must be equal and nobody may be more equal than anybody else.
My weeks are what?
I haven't commented for awhile, but I must say your blog striked me as funny.. and interesting.
especially this part:
"They only disagree about it happening sometime last week." lol
Truly who knows if it all began last week or 6000 years ago, but it's interesting and fun to wonder about it just the same.
Have a good day.
Thank you. I usually try to dish things up with a bit of dry humor but people do not always understand my humor, esp when it is about some serious or controversial matter. I like to see the funniness in the worst of situations and sometimes I get chastised for that. I suppose it comes with the territory.
Enjoy your day, mine is coming to an end on this side of the world.
You may not believe it, but none of those things happened. I now have it on good authority that it happened late Friday afternoon. So everything that happened before that was implanted.
