Think about it. If you had the technology to run a sophisticated

Or would you place the universe in the state you wanted it to be
in, and just SIMULATE the boring 13.7 billion year history?
Cute, but this makes your hypothesis totally unfalsifiable and thus
useless.
It's not useless. It finally gives us a complete model of the
universe. Now we can begin to try to understand the
software.
Not if you can't provide evidence for your hypothesis and a way to
falsify it.
Just because we have no way to test the hypothesis, doesn't mean
it is useless. It provides a tool for us to talk about a potential way
that the universe has been designed. It is a GREAT concept. It
doesn't even require the "supernatural", merely an ordinary
computer programmer. It is a great way of looking at the universe,
even if it is not actually true.
What is true is that this universe fits the MODEL of a computer
simulation, with a God in another dimension to us which is why
he can't be detected. However, as of Sept 11, 2004, we now
have hard evidence of his existence. Even if most people
prefer to stick their head in the sand.
