Suppose we live in a simulation, and all of our measurements are put into place by a novice programmer like Bill Gates?

Could you imagine living ones whole life in a quest for knowledge only to find out it is an illusion? What a sad joke

I am willing to accept all theories about who we are and how we got here in terms of our planet, galaxy and universe.

IMO, the answer to these questions is unknowable, we will never figure it out, not in 10 years, not in 1000 years and not in millions of years from now.

Well now that is interesting. In a computer game it only creates a visible world to you. Drive your car down the road and it generates new roadway and landscape while erasing what was behind you to free up memory. Point a telescope in any direction- bingo, new galaxies are projected.

Consider this: They say that once we figure out the physics of the Universe, in an instant it will all change to something completely different.

AND, it has happened six times already.
