Have you ever sat and pondered why things happen the way they do? Why some seemingly good people get murdered, get cancer or even their house burns to the ground. Some people even just disappear without a speck of evidence. Some people might say that is it just a coincidence or the way GOD wanted it to be, however what if it is more than that. What if what you call a world is all just part of some kid’s video game? I’m not talking the Matrix where a computer uses humans that are kept in suspended animation and live their “lives” connected to a computer which feeds their brain with ideas. I am talking about a situation where there are no actually physical bodies.
This might sound a little farfetched, but have you ever played the Sims, WOW, or any of the virtual realities game out there? Do the people in the game know they are not real? Do they know they are just a bunch of 1’s and 0’s placed together to create a “life”? If you have played the Sims you know that you as the “overseer” gives gentle whispers to the mind of the people to have them look for jobs, clean, eat, shower, dance, hug, and the list goes one. Does this count as a still small voice?
Furthermore, currently many companies and governments have software that can test most anything you can think of. They create virtual worlds to test airplanes, boats, how the wind blows, and millions of other things they can think of. So say for the sake of this discussion, we continue to advance our technology; we will be able to create thinking, breathing, eating, and living people inside of a computer. We will be able to burn a house and see how they react. We will be able to create a virus and see how many people dies before one of the “lives” finds the cure. This actually took place in the game of WOW if any of you remember and it was done intentionally to see how people in a virtual world would respond to the problem.
Let’s imagine (if that is allowed in this simulation) our “creator” is just a kid playing on a highly advanced virtual world game on his brand new PS-239(I'll call him John). He would create the world, he would create the plants and animals, and he would create the entire world as you would know it. In this world he has the ability to “delete” you at any time for any reason. He can create storms, fires, diseases, and can even destroy the entire world, just to start again. I know in the game Sims, you can control how fast the day goes, so I can assume you can do that in the future as well. That would mean the “creator” lives a virtually eternal life. Billions of “virtual earth” years could pass in the creator’s time spent playing the game. John may or may not consider himself a "GOD" of this world and people in this world may or may not believe there is a GOD. Some may feel there is a higher power, in which they vest their lives in. These people spend their lives praying to a GOD to ensure they go to "heaven" and rely on faith of that GOD to get them there. Some people may feel there is no higher power and live their life wondering if there is a heaven or hell. However, the creator does as he sees fit with no thoughts of this in his mind other than trying to "win" the game.
Now we all know our technology is advancing at tremendous rates, so how do we know there isn’t someone else that has already advanced further then us? Could we all be just a computer program that is running to test how a culture would react to global warming or to a deadly disease? You might say, “That’s not possible, I know who I am and I can touch things and I have my own mind.”
Well I bet
Furby would have said the exact same thing. Unfortunately my
