Great rebuttal. May I suggest you missed a point:
That the Evil Genie included in its simulation a prevalent though false memeplex represented by a collection of ancient documents. This 'bible' was edited by committed priests and described a creator God who brought the universe into existence 6000 years ago. Coincidentally there is also record that this collection of documents provided thousands and thousands of man-years of gainful employment free lunches for clerics up until the present. Though they've only been real free lunches for the last 25 minutes.
Sheesh last Tuesdayism is hard to deal with. I can't do the mental gymnastics needed to make up (implausible) explanations why such a preconception is True when it differs from observation. I guess I'll just stick with reality.
So how, exactly, does God know that She's NOT a brain in a vat?
