Well that was not a statement is was a question. Also a person that kills in the name of a god is most likely someone with a misconception of reality and a problem. Sounds relevant to me.

Can we prove this hypothesis as false? No. However that alone for me is not convincing enough reason to believe it is true.
In The Fabric of The Cosmos Brian Greene argues that the most consistent explanation of the universe given the state of entropy is that the universe recently popped into existence with our memories of the past intact etc.

That's ironic. Honestly though I'd be lost in anything but the most basic of science. I'll stick with my haphazard pursuits of philosophy. Where The Five Minute Hypothesis is used for different purposes.

Skeptical hypothesis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

If it's his view of reality, and if he really exists, how can it not also be reality?
