The article Spirituality and Simulation said

Lets go ahead and talk about computer simulation of life. Not only is this problem theoretically soluble and interesting, but its more related to spirituality than one might think. I’m not talking matrix fiction here, I’m talking the genuine philosophical theory of Oxford Professor Nick Bostrom. (paper, synopsis)
 
The simulation argument does not purport to demonstrate that you are in a simulation (nor does they author feel it is most likely that we are, he prefers #2). Instead, it shows that we should accept as true at least one of the following three propositions:

1. The chances that a species at our current level of development can avoid going extinct before becoming technologically mature is negligibly small
2. Almost no technologically mature civilizations are interested in running computer simulations of minds like ours
3. You are almost certainly in a simulation.

I think this law is perhaps most profound with regards to its religious implications. Is theism soluble? Should agnostics be apathetic?
