There are also huge theological problems with Last Thursdayism as well. It proposes a lying God that planted false evidence. If one cannot trust God when it comes to physical evidence then how can one trust God when it comes to an afterlife?
Yes.
Consider a light that carries information about a supernova. That light would have been created *en route*, complete with information about a 'star' that never existed (spectral type, information about composition, etc) and then a huge increase in intensity (which we would interpret as a supernova) and a decay following the radioactive decay curves *but* that star would have never existed at all! All that light giving information about composition was a complete and utter falsehood. The supernova was a falsehood. The star never existed, only the remaining nebula!
I'm sorry, this is simply not a proposition that I can take seriously. The information encoded in the light is too perfectly interpreted as a star going through an explosion. the *only* reasonable position is that there really was star there millions of years ago (oh, did I mention it was that far away but only the light signal from the last 10,000 years actually existed---light that was never even close to where the star 'was') and that, therefore, the universe is at least that old.
And, to top it off, we have supernovas that are far enough away that we 'interpret' them as being 10 billion light years away. But under this scenario, they never actually existed.
