People, overwhelmingly, don’t like the simulation hypothesis.
Simulation suggests that an intelligence created, crafted, made our simulation.
As a Christian the hypothesis fits.
“Store not treasures for yourselves here where moth and rust destroy and thieves break in and steal, but store up for yourselves treasures in heaven where moth and rust do not destroy and thieves do not break in and steal.”
“This is not your home you are sojourners here.”
“The Father is spirit and not flesh He looks for those who worship Him in spirit.”
These phrases make much more sense if we live in a simulation.
Jesus’ miracles and resurrection make sense if we’re in a simulation.
The Bible makes sense if we’re in a simulation.

- corethree 3y agoIn a simulation probability must be itself simulated. With enough simulations the actuality of an accurate version of probability being simulated is low. There are a million different ways and axioms we can use to change and modify probability in a simulation. Thus every reality could have a different probability and you cannot rely on probability to make your conclusions. Therefore we cannot make any conclusion here about simulations.

- skissane 3y agoWikipedia's article on Spinoza quotes Clare Clarisle's book Spinoza's Religion (Princeton University Press, 2021) as saying "When seventeenth-century readers accused Spinoza of atheism, they usually meant that he challenged doctrinal orthodoxy, particularly on moral issues, and not that he denied God’s existence." Which is the thing, language changes. The word "atheist" doesn't mean the same thing it meant 350 years ago. (Even today, it doesn't have a single meaning, but that's a whole other topic.)
