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.
