Okay...
You can't prove that you had a life before, nor can you prove that you didn't.
The conditional states that I only began to exist 5 seconds ago, which necessarily means that I didn't exist before that point.

I only began to exist 5 seconds ago,
Therefore, I didn't exist before then.

... is a necessary fact.

Perhaps a more interesting question would be to prove that one 'exists' at all.

Is the porridge hot?
Is the porridge cold?
Is the porridge just right?
Or is it a metaphysical projection from some great unseen conscious dreaming our entire world?

In fact you didn't come into existence five minutes ago. In fact reality is a fabrication. It all happens inside what you think of as your head. It is a projection of your 'mind'. All of it.

Try disproving that me old mental projection!

What's all this talk of 5 minutes?

I thought we were talking about 5 seconds ago?

I was under the impression that you all just exist in my imagination, and I just exist in someone else's imagination.

Fact! Not only did you folks just come into being five seconds ago, but it was me that dreamed you up as part of someone else's dream. :drunk: (we need a "420" smilie...)
