Hi all! Firstly I'm neither religious nor Athiest, just to get that out of the way 
My question is very simple: are we real?
I'm not qualified enough to talk about artificial intelligence/artificial evolution, but isn't it a little bit possible that we are some sort of experiment? to me, this is easier to believe than just to settle with 'god exists, he just does and that's that'.
There's games such as sims, many of you might know it? perhaps we are just a very advanced version of something like this created by a much more advanced civilisation? there's no reason not to believe this at-all, is there? and just like a game, it has a developer/developers, perhaps the developers of our artificial universe are who we refer to as god/gods? and therefore god does exist, but not in a way that many people like to believe or have even considered.
If i am to ever believe in god, then this theory would be the only way. It just takes an open mind. And I find it much more interesting to question things 'that's science' than to just accept what is written in a book and never question it 'religion'.
We'll never have answers, not until we die. Until then all we can do is speculate :/ are we real? don't feel insulted, I'm not referring to god as a game developer lol... but that what it pretty much boils down to perhaps i could refer to him as a scientist? I will accept there is a god in this case, but i wont accept there is a god because there just is and always has been.
edit: for me to accept there is a god in the theory i mentioned above, i would need that theory to be proven correct with no doubt. same as any other theory, equally. And no one can do that here.
