Isn't it possible that God created the universe only 150 years ago and then placed all of the evidence that the world is billions of years old in front of us to mess with us? An all powerful God could easily create people with doctored memories so that they believed they had lived for a x number of years as well as every old painting, rock, fossils, everything! He could have created a fully functioning world and just attributed all the inventions to fictional character who he then made evidence that they "actully" existed.
There is absolutely no proof that this didn't happen. Any evidence you find was just placed there to trick you.

You can't prove that either way. It's just a mind fuck you created in your head with no evidence. I've done this to myself loads of times, so trust me when I say it's a waste of time to contemplate.

You can believe something like that if you want, but what would be the point?
It's hardly a believe that has any positive effect on your life.

LMFAO.
is all i have to say, and don't you think science would kind of contradict that theory?
and that would mean that god wouldnt allow us to have free will and we would just be a puppet game to him if you were to say that.

Well what is the difference between this and Christianity? It is still blind faith that can't be proven wrong.
The point of this thread was to point out the stupidity of Christianity.

But it doesn't mean my theory is wrong. If you believe in an all powerful god then it is completly possible.

The blind faith of xianity can have positive effects on people.
I can have blind faith in being capable of acheiving anything. There may be no evidence to back this up but the belief will have positive effects on my life. I'll have the confidence to do things I wouldn't normally.
Your idea would have no positive effects on anything and therefore isn't worth contemplating, whereas xianty is, or at least maybe, depending on the individual.
