Turing himself showed that any Turing machine can compute any problem which is computable. So the question comes down to, "Is the universe computable?" It's a good philosophical question!
Religion says, "Yes, by a god who computes it all." Newtonian physics says, "Yes, by physical laws of matter." Quantum physics says, "No. The observed universe is a wave function that includes uncertainties."
I guess the theoretical comp sci question that intrigues me is the idea that all of it, including quantum physics, could be an Assassin's Creed-type simulation being run by something or somebody else.
