As scients climb the neverending mountain of knowledge, if someday they get to the top, they will find sitting there, drinking tea, countless simple, humble and meek men that they once called stupid religious people.
The so called sciences that try to create a billion ways to evade the truth:
There is a God, there is only One. The creator of everything and the only one that does not need a creator. If you are created, you are not God, you have a beginning, you are no God.
God does not have a beginning and He will have no end.
Technology is a amazing thing, but science is no longer science when it avoids a possible answer.
Anyone that fail those two tests is no God at all.
That said, of course it is a created simulation, Genesis through Revelation narrate it, beginning to the end.
