Where in any of christianity does it claim "simulation"? And your creators story, the bible, contains plenty of magic.
Face it, it's a fantasy story made by man, the same as the comic Superman, only the bible is more disturbing.
So you seem to have missed my point quite a bit, I'd even say completely. You are saying that what I explain to be metaphors in Bible are examples of magic.
If one is explaining a concept or principle to someone less developed (in this case more evolved civilization to a more primitive minded one) scientific terms are not the way to go for sure. Just like explaining a preschooler where do babies come from, more likely than not, you will use metaphors. That won't make it magic, right? Same thing that Nietzche did as well, or do you see Zaratustra as a fairy tale too, not philosophy?
