I like thinking about this concept, so I purchased On Computer Simulated Universes by Mark Solomon hoping to gain a little more insight. It's a great book and got me thinking along the lines of why we, or an ancestor universe, may want to simulate a universe. Is it for fun, learning, or o test a wide range of simulations with different parameters in order to try and avoid a disaster in the simulator's universe (such as destruction of their own habitat)?

I really like telling people that I think our universe was seeded with the idea of religion to see where we go with it. So all of the supernatural occurrences (stories, visitations, burning bushes etc.), whether you believe them or not, are simply part of our simulation program.
