Simulation Hypothesis...this is more sci-fi than philosophy

Been watching this theory/hypothesis on TV for past two days and it troubled me at first becasue...1.  I don't want to live in a Matrix like simulation of life/reality.  and 2...it ignores God but hints at, whether wittingly or not, an intelligent designer.

and really...it is only man's sci fi ideas to replace a Creator God.

Occasionally, a philosopher or scientist will suggest our reality is not “real.” While this is a common theme in science fiction and fantasy, some propose it might be true in the actual world. Their claim—or at least, their question—suggests that all of reality is actually a simulation, that what we think of as “real” is something artificial and only part of a larger existence. The suggestion comes in many different forms, united through basic components, loosely described as simulation theory. All such claims are heavily flavored by solipsism, which suggests our observations are untrustworthy. Any simulation hypothesis or simulation theory has to contend with the weaknesses inherent in solipsism itself.

As it turns out, Scripture indicates that our earthly lives are only part of a larger whole, and there is a “real reality” above and beyond what we experience on a day-to-day basis. The Bible says our “reality” is created and designed. And yet, most who support “simulation theory” reject the idea of God, an afterlife, or other spiritual concepts. This is not dissimilar to how many atheists attempt to use evidence for the Big Bang Theory against biblical views, despite the fact that concepts like a “beginning” were once seen as antithetical to atheism itself.

Dems have been living in and voting for theory for many years now.
