There is zero philosophical difference between "The universe is a creation" and "The universe is a simulation."
There is zero philosophical difference between "God created the Universe" and "The Universe as we know it was created by an intelligence greater than us."
There is zero logical difference between "This is proof the universe is a simulation" and "This is proof the universe was created."
It has to be the most idiotic and nonsensical thing the Atheists have latched onto since Gnosticism. "The universe exists only in my own mind, none of you are real."
If the universe as we know it is a simulation, then it's creator would be God.
If God created the universe as we know it from nothing, than it is a "simulation" of something that didn't previously exist.
"The universe exists only in my own mind, none of you are real."
You are selling this idea short. I drew a lot of wisdom from this realization in my younger years. The fact that your own existence is an irreducible certainty in a world of vague approximations is the ultimate argument for individuality, and leads into the realization that anything which arbitrarily seeks to limit your autonomy is evil. It inoculated me from many pathological ideologies in my youth.

Yeah.... simulation theory = G-d with extra steps.
