What I don’t get is why they call what we’re living a “simulation”?
A simulation is an imitation of something real, something that exists in the real, concrete world.
So exactly what are we an imitation of? Where is that real world that we’re supposedly a copy of?
A better word for this would be “a creation” - something someone or something created. IOW we’re living a created world.
I’m sure though, the last thing that those who use “simulation” want to do is use “creation” - they’re mostly atheist, and the thought of using the word “creation” and all that implies, would result in a painful cognitive dissonance that would severely screw up their world view.
Excellent questions. We were made in the image of God. We are a miniature imperfect imitation of God.
The real world is in another dimension. We think of it as Heaven. Time is non-existent there. The laws of physics no longer constrain us. As time elapses we will no longer think of this world or our life here as it will seem distant and unreal.
