I'll never be able to prove this idea is untrue because the universe has conspired to make sure I'll never be able to think of a way to do so. And maybe the Bible was right and God created the universe only 6000 years ago complete with phony dinosaur bones already buried in the ground and cosmic microwaves background radiation already in the sky. I'll never be able to disprove this idea either because being omnipotent and omniscient God will always be able to fool me. Or maybe 6000 years is too long and the universe was created only 5 minutes ago complete with memories of me being in the third grade. Maybe, but I sorta doubt it.
