I know how retarded that sounds to the average person, but we are quickly advancing to that position ourselves (think if the Sims had true AI). That's why I believe that a god/gods may possibly exist. I don't believe in the possibility that some magical man lives in the sky and sent down Jesus to party with us. I believe that there is a distinct possibility that advanced beings created a simulation program and we were inadvertently or perhaps purposely born from that. There. Now you can make fun of me all you want.

There's an idea called "quantum computing"; that if there were a computer capable of infinite processing power, you could basically program and create an entire universe by inputting intitial conditions and laws of physics.

Well, I'm not going to make fun of you, I'm just saying what I said earlier. Yes, it's possible. There's just no reason to actually believe it.

Just by the by -- I don't find the "there's no evidence" argument as compelling as the "if God existed he'd be a dick" argument. So I'm more open to the idea of unicorns than I am to God -- the idea of an omnipotent AND benevolent being is just incompatible with this world.
