Reality is too complex to be put into a computer program.

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.

It is not a paradigm, it is an example. It shows that one can do whatever one pleases with a computer program and prove 'anything' one likes. I have already shown the fault in this program in modeling reality which of course you are trying with verbiage to forget. In addition, a model for the entire set of facts which affect life is far too complex (and indeed unknown in its entirety). So any model of such a reality is perforce not a true one.

In addition, see the post above. If evolution is true, why does it need models as proof? Why cannot it prove itself from real life? Science is about real observable things so by saying that evolution requires a simulation to give proof of itself you (and all evolutionists) are admitting that evolution is not science.
