Are We Living in a Simulation? Creation Talk Podcast

- History
Why are some people talking about ‘simulation theory’ (the idea that all of our
universe is an illusion and we are living in a matrix)? Elon Musk said “there is
a one in billions chance that this is base reality” as opposed to us living in a
simulation. All of this simply presupposes evolutionary naturalism and
extrapolates from that presupposition. A related assumption is that
consciousness is just a product of matter (or algorithms), but the Bible and our
experience indicate that humans are not reducible to our physical brains, let
alone computer code.
