Dear Resident Theists

[Kingpin]

No, I'm referring to the fact that our "reality" could be a computer simulation It's not the same as solipsism, as it would apply to everyone. We're all self-aware, but unaware we're in a simulation. We're not actually anywhere else.

It requires very few assumptions, and easily answers where our reality "came from". In fact, it's pretty much the same as God creating things, except it makes use of processes we already know happen. All that it further requires is the assumption that part of the reality can become self aware, which is also required for the God hypothesis. The God one just makes loads of extra assumptions about the nature of the creator.

Ah like the Matrix.  But wouldn't that pose just as many issues?  What created the computer simulation?

Sorry, I see you edited your post to admit the same problem. You see "computers" as we understand them are physical and need an explanation outside themselves. The first cause must be non-physical, and thusly uncaused, because everything physical requires a cause outside itself.
