</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">This suggestion has been mentioned many times. From a logical viewpoint there is absolutely no problem.</font></div><div><font class="Apple-style-span" face="arial, sans-serif">However, one can equally say that the universe was created 100 years ago and just looks older or that the world is governed by some superior beings on another planet that guide our thoughts etc. We really dont know that there is a world outside of ourselves.

BTW science has the same problem for those that claim that there are an infinite number of independent universes then independent implies no way of verifying the claim and so it is pure speculation with no practical implications.</font></div>
