Nick Bostrom’s Simulation Argument (SA) has many intriguing theological implications. We work out some of them here. We show how the SA can be used to develop novel versions of the Cosmological and Design Arguments.

Jun 15, 2009 · The Simulation Argument purports to show, given some plausible assumptions, that at least one of three propositions is true (Bostrom 2003; see also Bostrom 2005). Roughly stated, these propositions are: (1) almost all civilizations at our current level of development go extinct before reaching technological maturity; (2) there is a strong ...

A well-known argument, recently developed by Nick Bostrom, aims to as-sign a probability to the thesis that we are living in a simulated reality.1 At least one commentator has said that Bostrom’s Simulation Argument is the first inter-esting argument for the existence of God in 2000 years.2 An overreaction, to say the least!

Nov 5, 2021 · Nick Bostrom’s “simulation argument” purports to show that if it is possible to create and run a vast number of computer simulations indistinguishable from the reality we are living in, then it is highly probable that we are already living in a computer simulation.
Oct 30, 2015 · Nick Bostrom’s recently patched “simulation argument” (Bostrom in Philos Q 53:243–255, 2003; Bostrom and Kulczycki in Analysis 71:54–61, 2011) purports to demonstrate the probability that we “live” now in an “ancestor simulation”—that is as a simulation of a period prior to that in which a civilization more advanced than our ...
