The simulation hypothesis has always bothered me as it requires a belief in the unprovable hence making it seem like a religious dictum. In this video Dr. Tyson tries to get past that but I think he made a critically erroneous assumption that each parent generation creates only one child simulation. That assumption wouldn't pan out if we were to base it on our experience with Minecraft like he did in the video. We don't have one Minecraft simulation but millions with varying levels of complexity. So the original question still stands. Is the belief in the simulation hypothesis equivalent to believing in a superior being called God?
