But then how do you know he did not create everything 5 seconds ago? Shouldn't be a problem for him to create memories surely. Or maybe he hasn't created anything yet, but he is just thinking about it and we are literally his imagination.
The logical conclusion of this is we can't really know anything including wether or not god is real, which brings us right back to the start, doesn't it?
No, you are completely right, but it's kind of the same with the "we are living in a simulation" thing (there isn't really a functional difference between a God's imagination and a simulation).
A more interesting question to me is not where we came from, but if there is an endgame. Created 5 seconds, 500 million years ago, 'real', or just avatars in a superconsciousness, the question remains- is there a "RIGHT" way to use our agency and experience?
