Thank you. I think it frustrates people of all religions to think of themselves as not mattering to "all this".
I have seen some credible scientists use the word "hologram" to describe the universe. But again, they don't mean that a bigger si fi cognition is doing that, they are using it as metaphor to give us a visual as to what it might look like if we were bigger than the universe looking in.
There is no super cognition, or a bunch of sub atomic cognitions controlling any of this, not an old mythological god, and not a si fi programer. "All this" is merely a giant weather pattern of which we are merely a brief outcome as a result of conditions.
It is the same mistake with words that theists have with scientific words like "Theory". Scientific language has a far different meaning than when a layperson uses the same word. Even si fi fans make the same mistake.

No sorry. Your problem is not me, your problem is your own cognitive dissonance. It is not my fault you think my bluntness is meant to hurt you or that I hate you. NO, my bluntness is because I have been down this road before.
You have a position so stop lying about that.
Stop pretending that by starting this thread you really aren't trying to sell something. If you are going to sell Jesus sell him, but don't pull this shit, and claim it isn't a distraction.
EVERY religion pulls crap like this. Every religion has followers who not only cherry pick their writings, also cherry pick science when they think they can get it to point to their club, and then run away from science when it does not.
You believe in a magic baby with super powers. You believe that a man magically escaped an execution. I don't see how a thread about "simulation" does you any good to prove those two most important stories.
Would this same article you quoted prove Allah to be the one true God if a Muslim posted it and not you? Would this same article prove to you Jews were right, if they posted this and not you?
That is what you keep failing to consider.
And as far as "insults" really? I think Kurdish and Koptic Christians in the East have far more to worry about than you do. You simply don't like me pointing out that this is nothing more than a distraction on your part.
