It doesn't, only that it's not impossible. Thus I repeat 'no chance' three times. It's like being a passenger on a train that's heading off a cliff, it's reassuring to know that rescue might come.
Ah, so ‘simulation’ includes eg. all Abrahamic or similar religion in this definition (because God created it)? ‘Top level non-simulation’ is essentially just atheism?
Yes, plus simulation theory has some quantitative reasoning as to the mechanics of otherwise unknowable divine powers. Big computer go brrrr. Thus the three postulates in Bostrom's paper.
