Thanks. I’ll stick to the facts: God created heaven and earth. We humans screwed it up by rejecting Him and His guidance for our lives. That began with Adam and Eve. He gave us His son, Jesus, who paid the full price for our sins...and most of us still reject His sacrifice, the reality that He provides us. Our real reality is we live in a fallen world, that the life of our world is finite, and that our only hope is to accept Jesus Christ as our savior. There is life after death, eternal life: either in heaven or in hell. They are real places, absolute destinations for each of us. And the only ones who end up in heaven are those who have accepted Jesus as their savior.

We, in our rebellion against God, make the simple complex. God makes the complex simple. It’s all about Jesus and our relationship with Him.

I completely agree with your statement that its all about Jesus and our relationship with him.

But that isn't a logical response to the question that was posed.

The Bible tells us that we ARE being manipulated (gamed) by demons (tempted to sin) and it (the Bible) even paints our reality as something akin to a simulation created by God. This world/reality is temporary and we go to a state of permanence (eternity with God) after we leave this world.

In fact, God even tells us not to get too involved with this reality because it isn't permanent.

As you may know, most of an atom is empty space (that is, the electron cloud around the very, very tiny nucleus). Our world is made up of atoms and atoms are mostly empty space. In other words, it is a kind of simulation. Things only seem solid because the electrical charge of your body is repelled by the electrical charge (electrons) in the object you are touching.

You see things only because, when light strikes a body of atoms (a tree for example), some of the light is absorbed by the atoms' electrons and some of it is repelled. Your eye senses the light that has been repelled/reflected.
