Here. Science studying God, renamed.

https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/are-we-living-in-a-computer-simulation/

This is nothing less than "Science" proposing
God, proposing creation -- proposing that an
intelligence existing outside of & beyond our
reality created the universe and everything in
it.

That's it, just cross out "God" and write
"Programmer" -- that's all it takes to
quiet your emotional spasms.

...that's all it takes to prove that the
problem all along has been you, not "God."

We leaped from "Ridiculous Fantasy" to "Real
Science" but doing nothing more than changing
a single word -- replacing "God" with "Programmer."

THAT'S how intellectually destitute you are. THAT'S
how thoroughly your emotions rule you.

And, yeah, THAT'S funny!

A scientist entertains a flight of fancy, writes about it, and it is
Science talking about god?

That's too big a stretch even for you.

The beauty of it is you can't prove his claim is any more or less
valid than claims about god, can you?

I suppose you read a novel and accept every word as literal truth.

#1.
It's not a "Flight of fancy." You made that up! It's
an injection of your emotions. Didn't you know that?
Did it really escape you that "Flight of fancy" was
coming from YOU, your FEELINGS and not the theory?

#2.
It's a legitimate proposition. Many subscribe to it.
Some claim it can be tested and falsified -- very much
the OPPOSITE of the "abiogenesis" which you do believe
in.

#3.
It is science. Again, nothing more than your FEELINGS
are evident here. A scientists makes a valid proposition
and because of your emotional discomfort you have to
marginalize him like this...

Outside the collective, to an open minded person who
not only is aware of Google but is curious enough to
sometimes use it, how do you think you're coming
across?

You just placed your FEELINGS on parade you, you just
unleashed your emotions thinking that you had formed
an "Argument."

Consider these words.

Wow, you really think you can manipulate me. What an out of touch
loser you are.

To manipulate someone successfully you have to think like they do,
then interject ideas that make them think it was their idea from the
start.

Castigation doesn't work. Presumably the idea there is to put someone
on the defensive and cause them to question their own motives. If
that's going to work, you'd have to be much more humble, since your
self-aggrandizing postings only make you vulnerable to criticism and
ridicule yourself. No one takes you seriously. (no one with half a
brain anyway)

It doesn't determine viability of an idea, but it does or may predict
probability.

Don't use the fact that many people are religious in an argument -
half the time being non-religious was punishable by death or
ostracization from society throughout history.

We are only now recovering from this - yet some people still insist
religion has a historical factual basis.

JTEM, the world does not revolve around you (or me) you need to start
thinking logically and leave your emotions where they are most useful:
enjoying life.

Without emotion I couldn't appreciate life and that would be
depressing, but when it comes to engineering design, emotion is a
liability most of the time (only aids in driving me to do a good job)

Go back to the initial post. Try to find the words

NOBODY described it as a "flight of fancy."

No it doesn't. It can't. Look at you, for example!
You blasted away emotionally at the topic, quite
unambiguously I may add, and claim to be unaware of
your own actions!

You think you're alone? LOOK AROUND! You're the
epitome of usenet -- OF THE INTERNET!

The "Simulated Universe" theory is AT LEAST as
valid, AT LEAST as testable as SETI.

If you can manage to keep your emotions in check
you could figure out why...


HINT: No matter how long you search for aliens,
not finding them doesn't prove they don't exist.
But if you find one, it proves that they do exist!

Not feeling; I'm just using the phrase just like it was intended

flight of fancy. An unrealistic idea or fantastic notion, a pipe
dream. For example, She engaged in flights of fancy, such as owning a
million-dollar house. This idiom uses flight in the sense of “a
soaring of the imagination,” a usage dating from the mid-1600s.

Living in a computer program is exactly that - a flight of fancy.

I agree. No argument. Gods may exist. I can't prove they don't; I'm
just going to require some unassailable evidence before I start bowing
and genuflecting. Scripture is not evidence.

It's your feelings. Nothing in the cited story
suggests a "flight of fancy." It's you. It's
all coming directly from you. Your feelings. Your
emotions.

...and the fact that it's invisible to you, as
obvious as your emotions are here, goes to demonstrate
the problem. Which is to say, the collective doesn't
think, it lashes out emotionally. Atheism is a belief.
It's an feeling.

This is what empiricism is, after all. You claim that
you can't see your over-the-top emotionalism, so just
go ahead and make your case. Quote what exactly is
telling you "Flight of fancy."

Now you are frothing at the mouth.
you don't even know yourself. Your own feelings are
a mystery to you. And you can't see how this "Simulated
Universe" theory is every bit as scientifically valid
as SETI.

All because you don't like it.

What am I Googling? YOU introduced the words where they
were never found. I didn't say them. NOBODY in the cited
argument so much as hinted that it was a "Flight of
Fancy." It was YOU.

YOU introduced your emotions here. YOU did.

And you're doing it now, running from what you did instead
of defending it or even admitting it.

Of course it's different, and I don't agree with it
any more than you do -- I probably have BIGGER
objections -- but that was never my point.

My point is bad arguments.

"Science says, SO NO GOD!"

Well it's valid to claim the opposite. As this
example proves, a rational person can rationally
argue that God is a scientifically valid proposition.

...just under a different name.

So, "BECAUSE SCIENCE" is not an argument. It's never
been an argument. But, this example illustrates the
point and, hopefully, highlights the needs for more
and better arguments.
