God Is a Computer Programmer and the Universe Runs on His Code

SMRTR summary

A computer scientist's atheism dissolved during a conversation about how the universe operates like a sophisticated computer program. The universe maintains gravitational calculations between every particle across billions of light-years without computational lag, uses Level of Detail rendering at extreme distances (like video game engines), and contains error-correcting codes embedded in spacetime's fabric—the same engineering protocols used in modern technology. These discoveries, combined with quantum mechanics' discrete states and mathematical rules, suggest the universe is an intelligently designed program running on an incomprehensible scale.
