The idea that the universe is a simulation is just a different way to express the religious impulse.

Actually its just the opposite - most folks who invoke 'the universe is a simulation' view this as a 'scientific' way of positing a creator of the universe that is not God. Rather it is a program being run on some fantastical computer.

Yes, but how does this bring us any closer to answering any of the unanswered questions in Cosmology? I assert that it doesn't.
