It is not unreasonable to say that there are numerical patterns in nature. But you then cannot make the leap to some sort of virtual reality on a computer.

Yeah, but this is one of those ideas where we don't really need proof. Even if true, no one will try to get you into a religion of computer simulation, and no one's going to kill in the name of...?..User1?
Ummm
You do still need proof. You never accept anything as true unless proved to a certain degree. You can think about this idea, but I would never believe unless given ample evidence.
