Explain why you think that

by Anonymous 3 weeks ago

Cause they themselves don't remember being born so they technically don't know 100%? Or something else? I have no clue lol Cause there's other methods of valid proof besides here say.

Exactly

But who is to verify those time stamps are accurate? What even is time? Who is responsible for keeping the calendar? Days have been lost in the past. We don't even really know what day it actually is.

Isn't that what life is all about? What even is existence?

Interestingly enough, my best friend was born just before midnight. But the nurse wrote the current time when she got to the paperwork, so according to the official document, his birthday is just past midnight. His mom made a stink about it, but nothing to do about it. It's entirely plausible that it could have happened, and the mother didn't catch it and just went with the birth certificate date.

Not true. My own mother was actually there when I was born.

There's this weird thing called a "birth certificate" where all the people who saw you born sign off on it, so unless you want to get into the existential of whether you can be sure of anything that is as good as it gets

Well technically no one can be sure of anything.

If that was true, we could be sure that nobody could be sure of anything. But then we could be sure of something, making the premise false
