Atheists are saying that God exist and He's digital

I'm arguing what's the difference to the average human between a creator being divine and an all-powerful computer programmer if they get the same result.

The difference is mainly in their limitations. A divine supernatural force that is omnipotent, omnipresent and omniscient vs a being who simply has a computer capable of simulating universes. Second concept seems a lot more limiting and relatable, and therefore more realistic

But yes, to humans, there is functionally no difference

like an all powerful computer programmer

He is Allah: the Creator, the Inventor, the Shaper. He ˹alone˺ has the Most Beautiful Names. Whatever is in the heavens and the earth ˹constantly˺ glorifies Him. And He is the Almighty, All-Wise.

I personally believe in the simulation hypothesis

It’s mathematically more probable than a dude in the sky waving his finger at you

can you expound on this? if the simulation hypothesis were true wouldn’t the “dude in the sky” just be the programmer of the simulation?

Agreed, very well could be.

My thought is this:

If we can create a “universe” simulation today, I would imagine in 100-500-10,000 years the universe simulations would be far more advanced.

If in 10,000 years they can create a universe simulation that is capable of simulating all that we experience today, then they can create 2, or 3, or 100,000 of those same simulations (think copies of Madden sold vs. the real NFL)

If they can create 100,000+ copies of a simulated universe, then the likelihood that we are in the “real” universe is mathematically low.

So a programmer isn’t necessarily “God” in the sense of traditional religion (watching, guiding, judging etc)

يُخَـٰدِعُونَ ٱللَّهَ وَٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَمَا يَخْدَعُونَ إِلَّآ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَمَا يَشْعُرُونَ ٩

They seek to deceive Allah and the believers, yet they only deceive themselves, but they fail to perceive it.
