Lol yeah
Sure, I'm not saying I believe we are a simulation. I'm not saying it's even likely. What I'm saying is that if there is some sort of intelligence behind all this, it's the most logical conclusion. It's the only one that isn't downright crackers. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say it's 1% likely... maybe a bit less. Religious stuff being true is 0.000000% likely (rounded to the nearest whatever decimal places.) Other explanations are basically the same as this, just granting the programmer loads of weird extra attributes for no particular reason and making him obsessed with what people do with their genitals.
You're right; if we're a simulation, that could account for apparent breach of normal laws in the past. But of course, it's far more likely that the stuff didn't happen at all, whether or not we're in a simulation.
