What many consider to be evidence, isn't necessarily valid proof. For example, I prayed to MEGAGOD that my house would sell at a time when houses weren't selling. Over several weeks we had very few showings. But then, one couple took a look and decided it was the perfect home in which to raise their two children. Poof! Sold! And we were quite happy with the price.
I believe MEGAGOD sold that house for us. I have evidence. I asked, GOD responded. In this same way, I have many other anecdotal stories which to me, confirm my belief in a Computer Simulation with MEGAGOD at the helm.
I view all this evidence through the lens of Confirmation Bias. It's the same lens used by followers of all beliefs since Anu was crowned, "Father of the Gods" thousands of years ago in Mesopotamia.
Bottom line is I really don't know what the heck is going on with life in all the universe(s?). I have ruled out some possibilities and I now believe I have found the one that makes the most sense. Although it's shocking and unbelievable at first, for me it is logical, reasonable and fun! Take my evidence for a test ride, give it a good shot. Notice MEANINGFUL COINCIDENCES around you. Let me know what you think.
“If at first the idea is not absurd, then there is no hope for it.”

Synchronicity
Synchronicity
In 1992, I gave up on the Christian God, concluding he isn’t real. I still felt, however that there existed some type of Higher Power which operated in our world. In 2016 I began writing down examples of what I thought was that Power in action. My early writings were under the heading of “Someone’s Messing with Me.”
It was plain as day to me. Some kind of supernatural power was at work in my life causing things to happen.
They might be slight and subtle, but weird things and strange coincidences were happening all around me. I know that happens to many others in the world. Much of this could be called "Synchronicity."

Synchronicity: A coincidence which appears to have happened for a reason. It’s more than a random occurrence, as if it had been orchestrated by an outside force.

Early Morning Phone Call
This is such a small occurrence I hesitate to write about it, and yet I believe it was the work of GOD. I woke up this morning (about 2: 30am) from a dream in which I made a phone call to someone and woke him up. I don’t know what the call was about, but I was surprised and a bit embarrassed that he answered. I apologized and told him I was expecting to get his voicemail so I could leave a message. This was a dream, mind you.
That’s all I remember. But, in those moments when I was considering that dream, my phone rang. It was a drunk friend calling me at 2:30 in the morning. I immediately muted it. He left a voicemail saying it’s been awhile since he’s talked to me and he wanted to know if I was going to get him a razor for his birthday.
I woke up after dreaming I was making an early morning phone call only to then receive an early morning phone call.

Research
I first began researching, "Simulation Hypotheses" in 2020. I refer to it as Computer Simulation. Here are some key resources I've used.
#1. Nick Bostrom
He coined the term, "Simulation Hypothesis." You can read about it in his article from 2003 called, "ARE YOU LIVING IN A COMPUTER SIMULATION?"
In 2015 he presented this information in a TED Talk titled, "What happens when our computers get smarter than we are?"
He also has a website called, "The Simulation Argument."
#2. Neil deGrasse Tyson
He has often spoken of the Simulation Hypothesis. He explains it in a video called, "Neil deGrasse Tyson Explains the Simulation Hypothesis." I learned much from the video.
#3. Movies
Here are some movies that have stimulated my imagination and sparked ideas as to how a Computer Simulation might be our reality.
