What if the universe is a computer simulation and that computer has only been running for 6,000 years....

Would that make god a computer programmer nerd that booted it up?

Also one thing about creationism is we know how to measure distances via triangulation and we know that there are objects further than 6,000 light years out there, in fact some of the furtherst objects are 14+ billion light years away, so did God create an entire universe and simulate the photons of such distant objects comming into the earth, if god can simulate far and fast moving photons then why actually build anything that is over 6,000 light years away, just simulate the photons.....

Why build any planets either, just “build it on the cheap” and put a holo projectuion screen around the earth sun moon system and simulate the universe around it....

Maybe god is a cheapskate...

The thing is God is immensly more vast than can even be fully and accurately explained by a book written by people who barely mastered fire. God could come down and explain himself to our brightest minds today and there would be a forrest of question marks hovering over their heads....

We have a hard time accurately relating information to primitives living in the amazon... Imagine a being several billion magnitudes more advanced than us trying to talk to stone age peoples about the nature of the universe......

Some details are bound to get “glossed over”, God was not going to go into boringly crazy detail about how he twisted several dimensions together to craft space time, he is going to give them the abdriged verson so he can get on to teaching them the lessions that matter, that is, how to treat one another.

Maybe you’re actually in a lab with lots of wires running into your brain simulating reality. By pressing this secret button you will be directed to make a response.

Sorry. Your God would be a sick practical Jokester. To give us reason then make a universe that mocks it.
I prefer a God who created a wonderous ancient gigantic universe, with rules that over the ages miraculously led to us, one step at a time....
