Simulations and the Bible?

I believe I'm probably in a simulation (maybe like the Roy game from Rick and Morty)
see:

I had some thoughts about how a simulation could be relevant to the Bible

e.g.
- it could make a physical world that is indistinguishable from reality
- it could allow supernatural beings to exist
- it could allow God to be omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent (especially if he was implemented with AI or an uploaded mind)
- it allows teleporting and having control over time (change time speed or go into the past or future)

the first video in the thread I linked shows you can start with a picture (including drawings) or a description and then go into that world

- generative AI could be controlled with voice commands like in Genesis 1

so it could also allow all of the miracles in the Bible including the parting of the Red Sea, God's hand writing text on the wall, coming back from the dead, the fishes and loaves, walking on water, rising up to heaven, exorcisms, etc.

It could allow dimensions that are outside of the physical universe (like heaven and hell)

One of the only things in the Bible I'm aware of that can't be achieved using simulations is simulating a literal eternity.

Note an eternity is infinitely longer than a googolplex - and a googolplex is a 1 with a googol zeroes and a googol is a 1 with 100 zeroes.

But I think a googolplex years for heaven or hell is good enough.

And there's Ecclesiastes 11:5

As you do not know the path of the wind,
or how the body is formed in a mother’s womb,
so you cannot understand the work of God,
the Maker of all things.

So is the simulation explanation wrong because humans will never know how God works?

I guess the alternative to the simulation explation is that things just mysteriously happen kind of like magic.

BTW there is an earlier attempt by humans to try and understand how God works - the Jewish mysticism of Kabbalah: (but I think it is nonsense)


Another issue is that everything that is in a simulation had a beginning but I think the Bible says God didn’t have a beginning.

God can do all things you mentioned not magically. We will be able to understand when we are in heaven

What is different in heaven? Are our intellects bigger and our current intellects aren't capable of understanding the mechanisms? Or do we have the same intellects and hidden knowledge is revealed to us?

but for now…. This is not a simulation it is reality.

Apparently Job 34:14–15 says “If he withdrew his spirit and breath, all humanity would perish… and return to dust.” So it seems God is part of this world rather than it having an independent existence.

The other seems like fantasy. Maybe you want to do or to see something so bad…. But it’s just not happening this is reality boring, unaccentuating sometimes. When Jesus was here it was an exciting time. Read it in the Bible be excited, believe it’s true. But work out your salvation daily with what you know from the Bible and enjoy.

I don't believe in Jesus literally rising from the dead though - but that is easy to do in a Bible based simulation.

BTW simulations can also explain the soul... you can have personalities that are independent of atoms, etc.
