Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.

7 Proofs That We Live in a Computer Simulation

7 Proofs That We Live in a Computer Simulation or Why Proofs of Gods Existance Are Unconvicing

  1. Argument from statistical reasoning
    If there are only two highly technological civilizations in each universe, and each civilization only creates two computer simulated universes, then there are more computer simulated universes than real ones. We should thus expect that our own universe is probably a computer simulation.
  2. Argument from liking of conclusion
    Saying this, it is reasonable to conclude that there must be a Programmer who created our computer simulated universe.
  3. Argument from personal I think it needs it
    Evolution cannot completely explain the creation of life thus the universe needs a Programmer who must have created life (who else?).
  4. Argument from the saying of wow
    The universe is so beautiful and elegant, it must have had a conscious Programmer. (Imagine! There are people who have this crazy belief that it all that elegance came just willy-nilly!)
  5. Argument from Star Wars
    The universe has many attributes which don’t need to be the way they are, but if they were different, human beings could have never created science fiction movies or nacho cheese. It should be obvious to everybody that a programmer would have liked that stuff.
  6. Argument from no turtles all the way down
    Everything is programmed in that everything is caused from something else. If you go back all the way to the beginning of time, you realize there needs to be somebody who programmed the first moment. Thus there needs to be a First Programmer.
  7. Argument from betterness of existence
    To create a computer simulation the programmer would, by definition, be a really really really good programmer. Programmers are better if they exist. Thus the First Programmer exists.

Seems like just another way to believe in a higher power; something a lot of people seem to feel a need to do.

The photographic portraits of Darwin in old age make him look like a Victorian prophet. But, when young, he was pleasant (though not handsome) to look at. He was also an adventurer albeit one who was seasick for 5 long years aboard HMS Beagle. May I suggest that the young Darwin replace ol’man Mose. See URL above.

Yeah, thats a great picture, although I think the one I have up is more well known. I can see how people can picture the Darwin I have up finding the Origin of Species hidden in the temple mount.

The one I have up matches my site design much better. Lets see what I do in OriginBlog v2.
