1. Our concept God is all powerful in our universe.
2. If there is an all powerful, all knowing, ever present intelligence in our universe, it must be god.
3. Computer processing power increases every year.
4. Computer processing power will continue to increase every year.
5. We will eventually reach a point where a computer is so powerful, it can compute the entire universe from the point of the big bang onwards.
6. Since you are part of the universe, you will be included in this simulation.
7. Computers will eventually be able to run millions of universe simulations every second.
8. The chances of the universe you think you are in being the original universe falls to almost zero.
9. The computer running the simulation will be all powerful, all knowing and ever present.
10. God is a computer.
In addition to this, any number of simulations could include a God variable, or many God variables. Perhaps the concept of god doesn't even exist in the original universe and we're simply the experiment of some MIT student in the year 98908092 who wants to know what would happen if humans believed things that were patently false. If we stop believing in God, the experiment would be concluded and the simulation would no longer be needed. Our universe simulation would then end..... I should stop talking now, for all our sakes.
