This a problem for presentism as well, even apart from simulation theory. Then there is the proven science of retrocausation, to which I believe Scott Adams linked. This seems to bridge the presentism/eternalism divide (albeit in a very perplexing way) by suggesting that all moments of time are 'present' but all change in response to one another. Even what is currently present is indeterminate to a future present...wrap you mind around that one over a party bowl.
AND, when you cant flat out quote your comic book, you try to debunk science, when you cant do that you try to get science to point to your comic book, and now you cant do that, so you try to sound compromising just to lead people back to your comic book.
And you are still stuck with the countless god claims and religions in human history and still stupidly think you got the correct one.
Allah and Jesus sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love, then comes marriage then comes Yahweh PRIOR TO EITHER OF YOU, which was a character stolen from the prior Canaanite polytheism.
So all this word salad proves what? That Buddha is the way to truth? Vishnu maybe? How about Apollo?
It cant be that humans merely make this shit up because 99% of the time they spread it because their parents sold it to them? It cant be that religion is merely sold, not proven. It cant be that humans simply made bad guesses. It cant be that religion and god claims are nothing but an artificial construct humans invent to create social order and to falsely give themselves a sense of a fictional forever.
