The answer to this question, to me, has always been an absolute yes.

If there is programming behind biology, then there’s the possibility of programming behind every system in the universe. Obviously the universe’s (macro) programming is beyond our comprehension, the same way we didn’t know about DNA, or understand it, until relatively recently. It may even be beyond our ability to ever observe it. But, if we can find it in other, more “localized” systems, inductive reasoning would point to its existence everywhere.

And if there is programming behind every system in the universe, whether the universe is physical or virtual (doesn’t matter which, to be honest), then the universe is an open, sandbox simulation.

That pretty much sums it up. Brilliant observation!

That the universe is ID should be beyond dispute, but whether the Democrat platform is should find dispute.
