Philip Gosse's hypothesis is a good example of a "fake world" philosophical puzzle, like the "brain in a vat" puzzle and the world of the Matrix movies; it can easily be extended to other times, like last week or a few minutes ago.

 Rocky Road: Philip Henry Gosse
Gosse's sense of responsibility for the boy's eternal soul was enormous, and as Edmund grew, Gosse frequently reminded him that God was "a jealous God" who tolerated little doubt or self-indulgence.
Gosse was willing to acknowledge that each "day" of creation might be as long as a thousand years, but that was as far as he would go.
Gosse's answer, spelled out in Omphalos, was Prochronism, a term he coined to argue that all life moves in a circle, and that in creating living organisms, God had to create the remains of extinct ones, too, complete with their coprolites.
