Kylie's Last Thursday Challenge

[Kylie]

I'm sure we've all heard of Last Thursdayism, the idea that the entire universe was created last Thursday and simply has the appearance of being older, such as our memories of the past.

Do you find this idea plausible at all? If you do, why? If not, why not?

Don't believe it. I wasn't born yesterday you know!

You should have asked me this last wednesday!

 

[essentialsaltes]

It is not plausible, but it is unassailable by any possible evidence. Making it akin to other implausible but unassailable positions, like endless miracles to plug the holes in other miracles.

 

[FrumiousBandersnatch]

It is as plausible or implausible as any YEC origin claim. There are, potentially, infinitely many equally unsupported, untestable and indistinguishable claims of that type, and no good reason, beyond capricious whimsy, to consider any of them.

Its simply wrong.

It was WEDNESDAY.

Why??

You want to know what day it is now? FRIDAY.

No, but plausibility is relative.

If not, why not?

Because God put in writing what He did, what order He did it in, when He did it, where He did it, why He did it, how He did it, how long it took Him to do it, why it took Him that long, and who the eyewitnesses were (some mentioned by name).

Wednesday? It was Thursday! INFIDEL!!!!!!

Maybe it was someone else who did it, and the Bible is part of that. I mean, the Bible was written long before Last Thursday.

 

[AV1611VET]

That's not an option.

Note here, where Jesus references both Genesis 1 and 2 as Scripture:

Matthew 19:4 And he answered and said unto them, Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,
5 And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh?

Wednesday? It was Thursday! INFIDEL!!!!!!

If I recant do i get the rack anyway?

 

[Yttrium]

Last Thursday? No, it's not plausible at all. That would mean that the Creator would have made the first eight episodes of the anime Ex-Arm, and no sane supreme being would do such a thing.

Last December maybe.

That's not an option.

I'm sure I've mentioned how it's troublesome to start with your conclusion and then find a way to fit the evidence into it.

 

[Kylie]

Yes, but when you leave this mortal coil, you go to where it is always Thursday and they have the steak special. On Wednesdays, they just have that really bad potato salad.

 

[Estrid]

Reminds me of a New Yorker cartoon,
freshly arrived couple at the gates of Hell.

Fellow with horns behind a podium

" Your choice of salad dressing?"


Steak....and me, a mostly vegetarian except
for like squid or some kinds of fish.

No. It unnecessarily complicated. Some... thing(?) had to devise all this everything in every last detail. Its offensively grandiose.

I think mine may be an aesthetic objection more than anything.

There are so many conspiracy theories out there I just can't keep track of them any longer.

But that doesnt work if it all emerged last Thursday, including the scripture. There's no rational appeal to scripture that can save you here.

Basically you have to fall back on faith that scripture is what it says it is, which is fine if it works for you.

 

[AV1611VET]

But it can't do that, since every single day would have to be a product of Last Thursdayism.

Every day, the universe would have to emerge again.
