Reality is analog.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.

It is just as stupid as claiming a god with the same types of problems as any naked assertion.

You have to go beyond laymen speculation first off. Secondly it would also imply a cognition to write that "simulation". And it would also have the problem of infinite regress.

So? This is how all good cons start. Does anyone seriously think for example cryogenics is real science? It is garbage, just like this is garbage.

No the universe is not a computer program, period. No amount of dressing it up in si fi woo is going to make such absurd speculation true.

I was not implying that this was a simulation by a computer, but whether or not everything that I do is based in 1s and 0s, if ultimate reality was really right there all along, in something we developed ages ago, mathematics.

What? That made no sense at all. Woo is woo, period.
