The Simulation Hypothesis and the Bible.
The entire Bible (or any other holy book for that matter) could be simulated via programming computer software (and lots of parts have been 'simulated' via film on TV and in cinemas). You could imagine a computer / video game where you get to play God (or any other Biblical character) and create life, the Universe and everything, issue commandments, pass judgments, kill the wicked, battle Satan, denounce other gods, precipitate and engage in Armageddon or the apocalypse. Lots of fun! Or, one could redo the entire New Testament and make Jesus dance to your tune. Anyway, the point is if it can be done (and it can be done) then maybe that's the way it was done. Take Genesis: Once there was 'nothing' and then there was a something - the software kicked in; the Big Bang event happened; let there be light and there was light, etc. And the rest, as they say, is history.
I like it and it is fun and safe to use that sort of hypothesis on this site. But you have to beware beyond these confines, since this is not quite new, it is a regular with religious apologists who like to point the finger at Atheists/ Agnostics and say this is the sort of silly stuff they believe. In order to claim that an A/A world view is even less supported by evidence than theirs. It is very dangerous to use an hypothesis like this without making it plain that you are only proposing it as one of many.
@johnprytz Can I ask what you do in your, day to day ? I enjoy your posts especially the waxing lyrical bits about the big ideas, sadly even on this site there do not seem to be that many people who are interested in ideas as such. Forgive me sounding a warning but of course I have no idea what your experience is, and you can put it down to old bloke syndrome if you like.
