GilDodgen kindly provides further evidence for the aphorism that to the man with a hammer everything looks like a nail.

In the case of the Liberace of LS-DYNA, apparently God found Himself with a spare moment or two in eternity and decided to write a Matrix-like game for Himself.  Just why He should choose to do it and why He should do it now is not explained.

He also skips over the rather inconvenient observation that every known instance of computing or information-processing involves the software running on good, solid materialistic hardware, not on 'vacuum-ware' or in thin air.

But then, in spite of the protestations, this is not about computing or logic or math or science, it's all about making the Universe seem human-friendly, rather than "pitilessly indifferent", and offering hope for the future - in particular, that there is a future after death.  That's what hammerhead here is trying to nail down.
