@matana @LodedDiaper Simulation theory is as much a religious theory as one of the thousands of sky daddies and mommies.
The braindead gotchas they do are more akin to "you didn't literally see animal evolve with your own eyes, therefore you believe in evolution"
@matrix @matana @LodedDiaper Ye but either way the gotchas never ever result in "ergo, yeshua is god", it's just "some entity made everything"
@matrix @matana @LodedDiaper Honestly the only good argument I know of for god would be consciousness. I can't explain the ghost in the machine, but I've hardly ever seen religious people use this point
If consciousness involves action instead of just pure perception, then it would have to depend on physical mechanisms in the brain, since it affects conscious behaviour, so animals must have some version of the same thing
But then how does the progression work? I've thought whether computers have some form of it since they have something kinda sorta similar
It makes sense that something like this would have evolved. Brains are huge and extremely complex, with each neuron working basically as it's own CPU, so there would have had to have been a central coordinator so we don't get half of our brain going left and the other half going right, something like semaphores in computing
But still, why am I so sure I don't feel like a computer?
