• Starting today August 7th, 2024, in order to post in the Married Couples, Courting Couples, or Singles forums, you will not be allowed to post if you have your Marital status designated as private. Announcements will be made in the respective forums as well but please note that if yours is currently listed as Private, you will need to submit a ticket in the Support Area to have yours changed.

  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The people who have these "profound conversations" while using THC that lead to the "idea" about the Universe being a simulation.
You don't need to be high to recognize the obvious.
I talked about real simulations to illustrate how silly the "Universe = simulation" notion is.
But I think you made my point: God is great.
What does Genesis have to do with it? Or are you using the original Greek definition of 'origin' here, which actually makes even less sense.
I don't understand the question. It has to do with origin.

Okay, let's put it like this: what does a video about the claim that the world is nothing but a simulation have to do with Genesis or origin? What is answer when you put the 2 and 2 of this equation together?

'The universe is a simulation' + 'origin' = ?

The universe is a creation from a mind.

That's the proven claim. At least that it's a creation. I don't know how anything could be created without a mind.

It's not a proven claim though. There is no hard scientific evidence to back it up, and also science doesn't deal with proof. And the latter of your sentence is really just a 'you' problem.

Take it up with the Nobel Committee. :)

Quantum simulation is not the same thing as living in a simulation. Your inability to understand that words can have more than one meaning is your problem and your problem alone.

Quantum simulation deals with models and simulations of quantum mechanics. It allows scientists to see as visuals and data how certain things work in quantum fields.

Because you said the universe is a product of psychokinesis.
I didn't say that, that's a human term, referring to the abilities of humans. But with God, "all things are possible".

You really still don't get what I'm saying?

Okay. Let's try this.

Quantum simulation - pretty pictures on super smart software to let scientists see how quantum things work.

Simulation as you and the bozo in the video claimed - everything in the universe was made by an intelligent being.
