Once, a friend of mine, asked me a question that i couldnt answer properly. Since then, i agree with him, but still am open for a good answer.

He asked "do you have any CONCRETE proof that the past REALLY existed"?
Like... the universe could have been created right now, as it is now. If we were created as we are now, with all memories already into our minds, how we could be sure that this memories were real, that they really refer to events that happened? How can we be sure that they are not only memories into our mind?
Note that im talking about everything and everybody and all the universe being created at the same time, so asking other people, or looking at the stars, or whatever just wont work.

Well... i couldnt answer. Since them, i couldnt believe any more in the realness of the past. I think there is a movie (blade runner?) where they put memories into the mind of androids to fool them and make they think they were real humans, or somewhat like it... so, what assures us that its not the same with us? If anybody have a good answer to it, please!!!
