But why would god have to put us through the matrix to test us? Regardless of whether we were staring down the barrel of a gun(hell), an omniscient deity knows what is in our "hearts" without making us go through the matrix. A test from an omniscient god is superfluous.

But please, continue with the ad hoc explanations.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
