Using your same argument, there is no logical impossibility in asserting that the world came into being just after the utterance of your consequent, at which point the antecedent simply came into being. Devoid of being able to make such logical inferences, then, your utterance is but a meaningless stuttering. It defeats itself.

Consider this argument against solipsism (or any variants of presentism thereof): One's senses do not err, because they do not judge at all. The senses are simply a given. Truth and falsity (as well as illusion) belong to the realm of judgement, belonging to the realm of relating objects to our understanding.

It is senseless to speak of a world springing into being five minutes ago that has all the trappings of a world that began several billions of years ago since the fact of a world beginning in time is supervenient within that world. If a world in this sense came into "being" five minutes ago, then there is no time beforehand to speak of, the concept of years-ago applying only to the current world.
