Islam & Evolution, were we wrong ?

[Confused Ape]

Anything can be labelled a daft idea, but what separates the wheat from the chaff is the evidence. If the UW physicists think they have found a way to validate the Lattice, it's up to them to demonstrate it and have their evidence and methodology evaluated.

A long-proposed thought experiment, put forward by both philosophers and popular culture, points out that any civilisation of sufficient size and intelligence would eventually create a simulation universe if such a thing were possible.

And since there would therefore be many more simulations (within simulations, within simulations) than real universes, it is therefore more likely than not that our world is artificial.

If this turns out to be true we're still left with the mystery of how the very first civilisation to create the first simulation got there. Maybe our physicists will be able to send them some kind of message to ask them. Let's just hope that they don't have a computer malfunction because we'd all be in a lot of trouble.

Were someone to come up with a similar methodology to validate theistic evolution, they'd be held to precisely the same standards. Until such experimental methods and the data gathered thereby have been demonstrated, any speculation about it is just the flapping of gums.

There's a lot of scientists doing gum flapping, then. I'm just pointing out that there are scientists who believe in theistic evolution. I didn't come up with the idea of theistic evolution myself and I don't believe in it either.
