Yep I'm convinced it all started last Thursday as if this reality had always existed. How do I know this I feel it true in my soul. I think it's all just going to suddenly end next Thursday so I'm having a party Wednesday. I may have my dates wrong the last Thursday which reality appeared may not have happened so I may have to have more Wednesday parties. I excuse the fact that it seems as if it's real on getting my dates right or that this is just a bit prep existence that only seems real to get me ready for next Thursday. 
Ok I don't really believe this but it makes as much sense as any of the other religions and with this version of last thursdayism you can have wednesday parties every other wednesday.

This simply shows that deductive arguments are useless outside of the very narrow framework of axioms/principles/pressuppositions which they were built on. Most of the things we know about the world aren't a result of any deduction, but rather induction from available data.

The fact that there is an external world, or that the universe existed 5 minutes ago, can't be proven right (or wrong) by any deductive argument. This also applies to the appearance of design, that non theists have so eagerly tried to deny and explain away for centuries, it will always point to a creator, whereas they keep asking us to prove an entirely different -and unwarranted- claim : that the apperance of design entails a creator.
