I was thinking that it might be something like Richard Dawkins' Weasel Program to cover all the scientific evidence for evolution in our simulation. This would be the equivalent of Theistic Evolution.

And also in the cherry blossom, why do people just don't look ?
The Jesuits seem to have that world view.
Jesuits Science And Technology
Quote:Science and Technology
From the early days of the founding of the Society of Jesus, the Jesuits have been engaged in various intellectual enterprises. These have included teaching, research, and writing. The Jesuit thrust to "find God in all things" has had the result that these efforts were not solely confined to the more "ecclesiastical" disciplines (like philosophy and theology), but were extended to the more "mundane" or "secular" disciplines. In the areas of science and technology many Jesuits have made, and continue to make, contributions. These contributions range from astronomy and algebra to natural history and geography.
I'm guessing that the staff of the Vatican Observatory are finding God in outer space.
Vatican Observatory Research Highlights
Quote:Among the cutting edge work being done at the Vatican include models for the stellar evolution of tidally stripped stars in binary systems; the characterization of meteor mass, density, and thermal properties from a statistical analysis of meteor light curves; and the development of a framework for observationally testing cosmological models that do not presume large-scale homogeneity, and thus go beyond the standard Freeman-Lemaitre- Robertson-Walker interpretation of cosmological data.
Even beyond those subjects, research topics at the Vatican range from string theory and observing galactic clusters to the search for extrasolar planets. The Vatican astronomers come from nearly every continent (no Australians at the moment, but our members have done research in Antarctica!) and touch nearly every field of modern astronomy.
