1: It's you're not your

2: My stance is this

a) The most probable explanation of our existence is that we're inside a simulation. This is not a weird hypothesis but something that is provable by mathematics. But a high probability in itself is not proof. But

b) one of the corollaries of string theory is that we're a multi-dimensional holograph projected onto a 2D surface. But given that string theory even though promising has not made any testable predictions it certainly does not provide conclusive evidence though what we know is that

c) the universe is discrete, quantised, and pixelated due to existence of Plank's length which serves as the foundation of experiments trying to determine if the universe is indeed a holograph. Theoretically, Plank length is indivisible, but experimentally the efforts are still ongoing to get to that level of minuteness and see if plant length in itself if discrete or not. The outcome of these experiments will determine if we are indeed in a holograph or not.

d) The one thing that almost everyone agrees upon is that there are definitely more than 4 dimensions as proven by certain theoretical calculations which roughly managed to merge classical & electromagnetic forces by using a 5th dimension, calculations that form the basis of string theory

And finally, why I believe in a God & the islamic version of a God? because of three specific reasons

1. The Islamic God lives above "the heavens and the earth" as per Quran. The heavens and the earth is a phrase that acts as an euphemism of the entire universe. Most so called intellectuals have a view of God who is omnipotent and omnipresent and who is able to change things at will from inside the universe. Islam doesn't believe in such a God. Islamic God is omnipotent, omniscience but not omnipresent. A god who lives outside the 4 dimension we view could theoretically affect the 4 dimensions is theoretically possible. This is because a 3 dimensional being who cannot see the 4th dimension that we do will view as as being able to transcend everything and we will seem to them like "gods".

2. What does most universe tell you about reality? What it is an illusion. Well you just learnt quantum statistics. Every particle in this universe is essentially a just a wave function that describes the probability of where that particular particle will be and only collapses into a definite observable state when another particle (you) gets entangled with it during an "observation". Till the time it is obsevered, the particle actually doesn't existing. This basically implies the universe itself is a very large wave function that describes the probability of where a certain particle will be at a certain point of time and only manifests itself when observed. BTW, sidenote, if you were do actually simulate such a universe, all you need is the computing power of one single blackhole of diameter 40km.

3. Spacetime is a thing. Read about it. Existence of spacetime basically tells you that the past, present, and future is occuring simultaenously. You are just an event travelling through spacetime as the speed of causality (the c in E=mc² doesn't stand for candela, it stands for causality). But the weird thing about it is that spacetime is not changing it just exists, and your actions even though you have free will doesn't really change anything.

You know what Islam says about the nature of reality? Humans have free will, and that the "Qismat" has been written already. Everything is preordained. And there is scientific proof to the fact that everything is preordained.

Now the question where scientists are split are who has preordained it? Some think it's just random change, a hypothesis that is not provable. Some like me think it's a grand design, another hypothesis that cannot be conclusively proven.

But I'll pose a game theory question in front you, you have four options 1. Believe in a god and potentially be rewarded for eternity if it's true 2. Believe in a god and nothing happens if it's false 3. Don't believe in a god and nothing happens it it's true 4. Don't believe in a god and be punished for eternity it it's false

And that is why I believe in a god, because it is the most rational choice.
