Flat, infinite, with (potentially) infinite resources and without many of the dangers and complexities of the real world? Especially considering that the creator God is proposed (at least by the major monotheistic religions) as an omnipotent being, why would he create a universe where most of the space is empty and/or unsuitable for human life?

If he wanted a huge sandbox to make us humans live and to test us, why not make the whole of the universe like that? After all, he can pop things into existence, pretty much like a computer does when it generates a Minecraft world.

So, the question is: is Notch more intelligent a designer than Yahweh/Allah/Jehovah?

Or is Notch just copying God's design?

Minecraft is a sub reality of our reality. Our reality is likely a sub reality of some larger reality. We know that intellects create sub-realities. Minecraft is evidence of such. We don't know that sub realities come into existence without any intellect.
