    One of those is a belief and the other is a theory.

    One requires the absence of evidence and the other requires evidence.

      Okay. But no. You can find evidence of god or a simulation the same way. Confirmation bias. There is no way to prove either belief.

        If you try to prove the existence of a god then you do not have faith so you are not a believer. Having faith in itself means evidence has no value for you.

        Every time someone doubts the Simulation Theory in a big way, we change one letter of a major fast food franchise. :)

        Agreed however stimulation was put forth as something that would require evidence whereas a God needs faith which requires blind trust and the lack of evidence. You are not allowed to even try to test if a god exists because that itself is a lack of faith.
