The implications if it is, however, are vast. We have covered this in a previous thread not all that long ago. Sadly I can't remember anything else about that thread so I can't find it.

Yes there is you fucking moron! For the same reason our solar system is not a god.
The "implications" are not science based. The "implications" be they traditional G/od bullshit are the same. It sounds nice, I like it.
The reason you don't buy crap is simple. It can feel good, but most of the time the person selling it to you is full of shit themselves.
Chill out ABBA dude.
Its not a religion and in this case it feels neither good nor bad. Its just a possibility that is being investigated. We'll know sooner or later and if the universe is analogue that's fine. If its digital there are implications is all.
Oh - and no-one's selling anything here either. Its just evaluating the universe we live in and trying to understand it. It may be a wrong turning - there have been many, but those are as interesting and useful and taking the right path, another side-street eliminated from our mapless hunt.
