Science remains within the bounds of methodological naturalism. That's why there are no religious theists among evolutionists and group selectionists. Isn't a scientific theist an oxymoron?https://twitter.com/risengrisha/status/1075464665524662272 …
I was a hard-core atheist for decades, but then I learned about the Simulation Hypothesis, so now I have no idea what to think, and I guess I'm an agonistic now. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis …

What does the simulation hypothesis have to do with magical deities? Advanced aliens creating simulations doesn't make them Gods any more than playing Sim City makes you a God.

You are a God to your Sim City inhabitants. If they were sentient, they'd be fully justified in having 'religious' awe towards you.

Simulation theory only works if you presume that an advanced civilization is even capable of creating such a simulation in the first place. Seems like begging the question fallacy.

Now substitute Creation for Simulation and God for AI, and you get the Plan of Salvation. https://anti-gnostic.com/2018/06/10/cyberpunk-theology/ …pic.twitter.com/V0sgv5rGF9

for those without a background in computer science, could you explain (or link to an explanation of) the link between P vs. NP and the simulation hypothesis?

All myth adds some value to our existence, much of which isn't specif to Christianity. What is unique about Christianity, is the belief that a gaunt hippy can forgive you for harming other people (whether the injured party has or not).

Is the intelligent life that created this simulated reality also live in one as well and unaware of it?! Like holding two mirrors facing each other creating infinite numbers of reflections.

"I learned about the Simulation Hypothesis, so now I have no idea what to think, and I guess I'm an agonistic now." Another Sims victim of Bostrom? Careful not to get caught with 'Pascal's Mugging.'
A move away from being an atheist is a good first step, be thankful for that!Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
