Question

Hello Rabbi, good afternoon.
I actually haven’t read the Rabbi’s books, but I have listened to your lectures in which you argue that it is more reasonable to believe that there is a Creator of the world because of A, B, and C. I wanted to ask whether this is the Rabbi’s view only regarding a creator in general, or also regarding the God of Israel. Because if it is about the God of Israel, then I have a bit of difficulty with this view, since nowadays intellectuals like Elon Musk and Neil deGrasse Tyson say that there is a one-in-infinity chance that we are not inside a computer simulation. Because if, in another few hundred years, we succeed in creating such a perfect game that resembles reality (already today there are breakthroughs in endless rendering of a virtual world automatically, and artificial intelligences that can be implanted into the players, etc.), and the computer game we create also succeeds technologically and creates a game of its own that resembles reality, and so on, then the probability that we are the first programmers is negligible. And according to the Torah, it does not sound plausible that God is a programmer or a group of programmers (a group of programmers would be like several deities, and we know that the Torah rejects that). So that’s basically it. I would like to hear the Rabbi’s argument regarding these ideas and similar ones, and at the same time clarify my faith.
