So anyway basically all of the first three and a bit paragraphs can be interpreted as talking about a simulation.... that is very significant - I mean a lot of parts of the Bible are meant to fit together but they involve a lot more problems.

What do you think of my interpretation of it being about a simulation? I think it fits that much, much better than it fits their belief that it is purely about our earthly life - see those questions I addressed to them.
