since when does binary code resemble either quantum math or or General Relativity’s equations? Clearly Gates started from assumptions that led him to his conclusions. Or maybe Gates himself is a computer simulation. After all, YouTube?
“Incidentally, my main problem with the [universe as a computer] simulation story is not (only) that it is intellectually lazy or that it is masquerading as some deep foundational issue. As far as metaphysical speculation goes it is remarkably unromantic, I mean, your best attempt as a creation myth involves someone sitting in front of a computer running code? What else do those omnipotent gods do, eat pizza? Do their taxes?”— Physicist Moshe Rozali at http://www.scottaaronson.com/blog/?p=3208#comment-1733601

Or it means that something as compllex and sophisticated as computer code can somehow magically occur in a creatorless universe.

No less nonsensical that any other “religion”. Just replacing on “Deity” with another. And then calling it “Science”.
