    Both are just as unlikely as the other and have as much evidence, I’d find anyone who possesed both beliefs to be weird.

      One is obviously made-up by ancient peoples who knew fuck-all about the world, but insists it’s eternal truth beyond debate. Even the parts that contradict the other parts.

      The other is an openly hypothetical idea based on what we expect is just beyond our current capabilities… and it relies on that we’re-just-atoms materialism.

      That’s not true

      1. We have no evidence about either and both are non-falsifiable
      2. Living in a simulation is one idea. Each individual religion is a whole bunch of assumptions rolled into one system.

      Therefore “we live in a simulation” is just as likely as “there’s some higher power”, while “the Matrix is a documentary, everything will happen exactly like in the movie” is as likely as “the Christian god is real, just as described in the bible”.

        We have plenty of evidence that were just a “random” assortment of atoms following natural laws. We see those laws around us everywhere. We manipulate them to build crazy things. We have no evidence were anything BUT that.

          Did you reply to the wrong comment? Nothing I said is incompatible with what you said.

          I’m just saying that the original meme makes no sense.
