No it doesn't,it would dictate that there a certain laws that govern this particular universe.There is pretty much coding everywhere.
The string theory they found coding that we developed back in the 40s
Our own DNA has computer coding.
This theory would lend to thought of a creator.

Super symmetrical code as reasoned by James Gates isn't as widely recognised as you give it credit,given string theory has enormous flaws.
Theoretical physics is very cool.
Exactly. When they released Tay it was just bombarded on Twitter with taunts and ppl trying to provoke it anyway they could. It's no wonder the way it turned out.I wonder for the experiment to truly work if they should have released her without any noise and see if she self adjusted to responses.
I still think these are two seperate steps.Exactly. When they released Tay it was just bombarded on Twitter with taunts and ppl trying to provoke it anyway they could. It's no wonder the way it turned out.
Why does the simulation part matter? If you really want to move to the beach you still can do now if that's what you want to do.If the universe is just a simulation I'm quitting my job and moving to the beach, don't care anymore...

Not sure I believe this is all a simulation myself, however it's an interesting topic nonetheless.
Missed this 1st time aroundThere is pretty much coding everywhere.

I believe we were created. Whether by god some ancient alien wizard or a computer nerd I will leave it up to the individual.Missed this 1st time around
Is this also a chicken or egg argument? Or the Anthropomorphism debate? ie we see code because we developed it and look for code where we didn't before?
Lets use DNA as an example, if we said Fractals were an example of an intelligent creator , then looking for Fractals in DNA would only confirm a bias.
This is a pretty good summary and it does appear we might not be living in a physical reality at all, which could be the mistake we have been making for all this time.This documentary is fantastic, thoroughly recommend anyone with a passing interest to watch it.
For those that don't have the time spare to do so the gist of it is that the science would increasingly suggest that the driving force of our universe is operating outside of it in the same sense that the driving force for the Sims' world (computer) operates outside of it.
Now you can interpret that to mean that we are rather pointless and when we die we cease to exist OR it can be seen as arguably the greatest argument for a "God" yet.
Believing what I do in regards to afterlife/paranormal phenomenon from stories/experiences I'm with the latter.
The fact the universe might be a simulation does nothing to dull it or discredit our lives IMO. What is boils down to is Mind vs Matter in the sense of a chicken or egg philosophy. A simulation would suggest Mind begets Matter which is far far more extraordinary and opens up so many more possibilities than this already perplexing physical universe we are observing.

Yeah look you could debate the God/creator thing until the cow comes home, I don't think we are getting anywhere with that.This is a pretty good summary and it does appear we might not be living in a physical reality at all, which could be the mistake we have been making for all this time.
As for the god question,it still would leave it as a bit of an unknown unless we can discover who created base reality,but I'd say it makes the chances of a creator far greater.
Simulation certainly makes equal sense to what we think we currently understand.
I tend to agree with this. It would be pretty naive to think we were just created from nothing,how is that really possible?I believe we were created. Whether by god some ancient alien wizard or a computer nerd I will leave it up to the individual.
It goes way beyond that. From physics having to be broken for this all to exist.
Just saying, not implying anything. Not pushing anything just a point.I tend to agree with this. It would be pretty naive to think we were just created from nothing,how is that really possible?
You've put it pretty well,people do seem to get a bit hung up on the word God for some reason,but our creator could be anything including aliens or our very own ancestors.
I think questions like that is what makes theories like simulation so attractive. An idea of a god is one that's been passed on through the ages,and while it has merit there isn't really any proof and as we often see,history is often rewritten to suit certain agendas.What evidence is there that the Universe was created by a God?
