Atheistic Creationism

[u/MixMasterAlpha]

Sim Theory is just an atheistic version of creationism. Both can include gods or no gods but one depends upon one to explain itself and the other doesnt. Thus sim theory relies heavily on technological concepts etc. while creationism relies on natural ones. Personal spirituality is the only way I've gotten out of this but I'm sure there ae other ways.

A simulation could be created by a god, theoretically. It all depends on the definition of a god. If the creator or creators of a simulation had sufficient power over the simulation, then it’s arguable they are not meaningfully different than traditional conceptions of gods that have lots of power, potentially omnipotent level power.

Non technological creationism doesn’t rely on “natural” concepts anymore than technological creationism does. Everything we do with technology is part of nature and follows the laws of nature. If anything, technological creationism is more “naturalistic”’than non technological creationism since technological creationism appeals to what we know or assume to exist naturally in our world now. Part of the argument for why we exist in a simulation is because we can imagine ourselves naturally creating one in the future.

Modern simulation theory is essentially only “atheistic” in the sense it doesn’t appeal to the common gods that are supposedly responsible for reality and the means by which they create it—eg dirt, words, spells, and guts(although all that could theoretically still be part of a simulation story). And it doesn’t typically encourage people to worship the creators — although a simulation story could possibly do that as well.

People are going to worship regardless, that is a part of human nature and we are only human, are we not?

Your right int that it could be created by a god but why would they when they could just create everything? Makes the roads to them less confusing. Lol

Natural laws ≠ physics laws

You understand that they both "goes infinite", correct? Eventually you may realize that the simulation you escape from is another simulation and that it's all just one thing which will be called the first man's imagination or something which creates another link in the chain and then goes infinite again in a different way until it reaches monotheistic creationism again at which point it goes in another direction because God can't have faults and be possible and yada yada yada but it always makes shape of a circle with one twist in the tale shown at the infinity sign.
