I created the universe ex nihilo last Thursday, implanting everyone's memories.
What evidence would convince you of this, AV?
If you got someone else to write it in a book full of vague and/or self-fulfilling prophecies, then got other people to translate that book through several languages over a period of a couple of thousand years, that might convince him.
No, you just have memories of being here. In reality you weren't.

You'd have to show evidence that these memories we have are not as old as they appear. Logically, due to scientific understanding of how human brains function, it's impossible to have these memories from years ago without the events happening. You'd have to show it is possible to create these memories at a whim.
In the words of AV, "F."
I'm only kidding. Thanks for the effort, but it's AV who needs to answer, because the whole point is that his example is crazy.
You are all LIARS!!! You all TRULY know that Zeus did it, however you all consciously deny this in order to continue your sinful lifestyles. However when Judgement Weekend comes you will see the wrath of Zeus and his thunderbolts of MIGHT!
If you Zeusless heathens believe otherwise, then prove that Zeus didn't didn't didn't do it! You can't, can you? THEN ZEUS MUST HAVE DONE IT!!!1111
I will pray for you all to see the lighty light of lightness!

Perhaps not on a whim but a skilled interviewer can often convince their subject that a particular event actually did happen.
That would take a tremendous amount of interviewing to place false memories in over 6,000,000,000.000000000 people.
It would take even more interviewing to create them ex nihilo!
Do you think it makes my argument more convincing if I italicise every single instance of ex nihilo? I don't need to italicise any other bits of Latin e.g. e.g. do I?
