MIT SCIENTIST RIZWAN VIRK WRITES BOOK CALLED ‘THE SIMULATION HYPOTHESIS’ WHICH SAYS WE ARE LIVING IN AN ARTIFICIAL SIMULATED WORLD MUCH LIKE ‘THE MATRIX’ by Geoffrey Grider for Now The End Begins
The basic idea is that everything we see around us, including the Earth and the universe, is part of a very sophisticated MMORPG (a massively multiplayer online roleplaying game) and that we are players in this game. The hypothesis itself comes in different forms. In one version, we’re all A.I. within a simulation that’s running on somebody else’s computer. In another version, we are “player characters,” conscious things that exist outside the simulation and we inhabit characters, just like you might take on the character of an elf or dwarf in a fantasy RPG.

Chances are you haven’t heard of something called ‘the simulation hypothesis’, but this is a very hot topic among some of the leading technological minds of our day. It states that what we are actually living in is a massive, simulated virtual reality much like the movie The Matrix. Before you dismiss this out of hand, think about this.

“Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.” Hebrews 11:3 (KJV)
When God created our world and our entire universe, He did so by speaking it into existence from nothing. Everything that we can see, feel, taste and touch are products from the imagination of the mind of God. To us they are fixed and real, and yet to Him they are not. Remember how Jesus walked on top of the water without sinking? Impossible for us, a complete violation of the law of physics. Or how He turned water into wine by commanding it to be so? Even with all our advanced technology, this remains a feat we will never accomplish.
