I'm a bit bored and was interested in how many GMC'ers are religous.

Theist - believes in the existence of a God or Gods
Agnostic - isn't sure about the existence of a God or Gods
Atheist - does not believe in the existence of a God or Gods

One theory of life that I find very interesting is simulated reality.

It's the theory that that reality could be simulated—computer simulated—to a degree indistinguishable from 'true' reality. It could contain conscious minds which may or may not know that they are living inside a simulation.

So basically if we created AI (artificial intelligence) in the future, we could create a world inside of a computer which would be exactly like our own (or completely different). We could watch how it evolves and how it creates a society and environment.

If this theory is correct we could be living in one of many 'simulated realities' and that there is only 1 true world where life started which could be completely different to how we live today. There is over a 95% chance that we are in a simulated reality.

I don't actually believe in this theory I just find it very interesting.

Of course, it's just a theory and has not be proven so it has very little evidence.

And I thought I was the only one tongue.gif

As far as my beliefs go, I am really undecided as to whether or not there is a god or if we just ended up here by chance somehow. I mean one creator over everything just seems like a story that you'd here in a fairytale book, but on the other hand, I believe that evolution is a load of crap (don't want to start an argument over that, only certain points in evolution are true). I actually live in a religious home right now, but it's never really clicked with me; and I'm begining to REALLY dislike it.

May i ask why you think its a load of crap? www.talkorigins.org has lots of information on evolution. Its a proven scientific fact.

There's actually two sections of evolution- Macro evolution and microevolution. Micro evolution is the true one (this is all my oppinion, I'm not saying that your wrong!). It's the theory that over time, nature makes small changes to adapt to its environment. Macro evolution says that a fish could evolve into a bird for example. I've got to go right now, but I'll come back later and actually give some reasons as to why I believe this wink.gif
