The answer becomes increasingly obvious until it becomes undeniable. This is not the real world. This is a cruel impersonation of the real world made by the one called the demiurge. Every material "Good" that you perceive here is a corrupted copy of something in the real world. When Jesus / Paul refer to "Satan" as the "prince of this world" and "ruler of this world", it is meant deeper than the modern Catholic interpretation of just temptation. The fact that you are even able to be uncertain of this world is oddly proof of its falsehood. Jesus says he is the truth and hides nothing; the world of Jesus would therefore have no uncertainty at all.
I have no idea what to make of this stuff, myself.
Can't remember which philosopher; Plato or Aristotle. Said something about the true nature of all things could be deduced because they are immutable. Basically the opposite of today's relativism. So you can ask a kid a bunch of questions, and the kid will know the truth even if he never learned it.
This is because these "truths" existed outside the bounds of reality. They were immutable, something humans couldn't fake or mess with.
Demiurge sounds like demi and urge, so.im guessing the primal or "evil" urges of men? And it's antithesis would be the good or Jesus? If the Greek philosophers were right, then there is an overarching reality that is immutable and thus intangible to mere mortals.
Something like that I would guess.

If people's primal urges are used to define the physical world, I suppose this would make sense. But I think the Ghostbin OP is talking about an actual separate spiritual being dreaming up the physical world we live in.
