"we are almost certainly living in a computer simulation."

If we are nothing but a computer program, how can we be "alive?" It would mean we don't really exist.

Are tax payers being soaked for this nonsense?

I loved the comment at the bottom of the Yahoo page: "Holy #$%$!!! Pot hasn't even been legal in Washington State for a month and look where we are already!"

LOL!

The findings will be as bogus as the global warming nonsense, but cheered by the msm and world gov’ts to validate the taking of innocent life.

After all, it wasn’t really ‘life’ anyway.

Will this ‘prove’ that God doesn’t exist also?

Methinks this is just part of a grander plan.

...in some ancient civilization's computer game.

In which they were a game...In which they were a game...In which they were a game....

C’mon, Man!

I was just getting to where I could comprehend the Big Bang, and the pointy heads come up with this sh!t.

[sphinx]

That would mean liberals are just computer viruses. I like this theory.

[Zionist Conspirator]

There are some ideas so absurd . . .

[LibLieSlayer]

Only these self proclaimed “scientists” are a computer simulation... a viral infection at best... the rest of us that know GOD know the truth. Hell awaits those who deny HIM.

On the right track, but not quite ping!

(The universe is actually a fractal holographic representation of the Mind Of God.)

[camle]

of course we’re a computer simulation! the answer us “42”! now the question! that’s something else entirely. ask the mice

[Flick Lives]

Where’s my cntl-alt-del button. I need to reboot.

[Hardraade]

Most of the “scientists” minds are probably primitive sims run on a 6502.

[11th Commandment]

“Computer- end program”.......... we’re good

[Erik Latranyi]

So, liberals are now trying to prove Intelligent Design!

[concerned about politics]

I can understand this from a theoretical psychics/holographic universe point of view. Everything is NRG.
Like NRG attracts and opposite NRG repels in the spiritual world or ethos. (This explains syncronicaties quite well, or those thing considered miracles). Together, a matrix of opposites is created, and there's a constant struggle for balance.
From a quantum point of view, consciousness affects matter. Matter "pops" into existence via consciousness.. If the big bang were fact (and I'm not arguing it right now), what consciousness was there or behind it to start it all in the first place?

Anyway, I'd like to know what they come up with.

[Moonman62]

I wonder if this is related to the theory that the Universe is a hologram. A theory that I think has been found to be not true.

[GSWarrior]

If this is true, then God is the Programmer, IMHO.

[stuartcr]

Even if it were true, how would it really matter?

[Rocky]

I wonder if the programmers wrote into the program that scientists in 2012 would try to determine that they were just part of a computer program. And I wonder if these scientists will figure out that their experiments are predetermined by the computer program, and that their findings were predetermined as well.
