One of those is a belief and the other is a theory.

One requires the absence of evidence and the other requires evidence.

Okay. But no. You can find evidence of god or a simulation the same way. Confirmation bias. There is no way to prove either belief.

If you try to prove the existence of a god then you do not have faith so you are not a believer. Having faith in itself means evidence has no value for you.

Every time someone doubts the Simulation Theory in a big way, we change one letter of a major fast food franchise. :)

Enjoy your Chic-Fil-A.

Does it also explain why I’m wearing a Taco Belt?
