      that wouldn’t make whoever built the universe a god.

      Well yeah they would have to open the console and type in.

        No I think the point is more or less how do you define the word “God” is this a living creator, or a living being that can perform complex simulations, and if so, what are we, relative to this being?

      The hypocrisy is in claiming to know the truth from a hypothesis with (currently) unknowable factors.

      Can we possibly test for the simulation hypothesis? Not at the present. Thus, to say that it’s true is just as bad as claiming a sky fairy made the world in seven days

      Tbh if got was real I think we would just be left in a closet as some kind of hobby

      Or perhaps some kind of faith farm

      Over all not as important as people think we are so overall would have the same effect
