No they cannot. Reality is too complex to be put into a computer program. Only a fool would think that Sim-City or the Sims are simulations of reality. They are abstractions modeled according to the thinking of the DESIGNERS as to what they wish to prove.
BTW - do you believe that virtual sex can be the same as real sex?

Do you read your own posts?
Speak for yourself. Many people do a good job of modeling reality on a computer. If you really believe that they are wrong you should never: fly in an airplane, especially the 757,767,777; never go near a nuclear power plant; never go near the power grid; never drive an automobile; etc.
Your paradigm of "The Sims" is just a game. You may believe that "The Sims" or "Sim City" (mark whatever) is a model of reality, but most people can tell the difference between games and models.
