Crude universe -> crude simulations of the cosmos. (As pointed out many many times)
And pointed out to you that they aren't anywhere near the same thing many many times. The distinction is crucial, because it shits all over your argument.
No it doesn't, and the link you provided does not suggest any such thing. But this shouldn't be any surprise seeing how poor your use of language is in general, as several posters have pointed out.

SafeAsMilk wrote:Yeah, I get you think it should be redefined that way. But there's simply no reason for the redefinition, developing crude simulations on computers isn't anything at all like creating an actual universe, which is what a creator deity is supposed to have done. You're trying to give an old title to something completely different, it doesn't make any sense. .
The entire point of the redefinition, is to purge scientifically unfounded sequences from the archaic concept.
If you actually did that, you'd purge the entire thing. This has been pointed out to you repeatedly. From now on, I'm just going to copy-paste my responses because you either don't read or understand them the first time.
We appropriate models in science with scientifically founded data, and so, that our universe is created by some intelligent being(s), is not empirically founded.
That's the entire primary concept of what a God is. Thanks for making my point for me.
The redefinition then includes a feasible instance, that of universe simulations/crude universes.
This redefinition may persist, scientifically, whether or not I exist.
I'm guessing it won't because it's worthless. You've presented exactly zero (0) reasons why anyone at all should call people who develop crude computer simulations of universes 'gods'.

The 'carry-over' is that instead of actual universes, crude universe creation persists.
Because the original included no crude simulated universes, there is literally no carry-over at all.

Therein, God becomes yet another synonym for these terms, just as synonyms of the terms persisted before the redefinition.
There is not a single reason to add yours. You've been reduced to whining, "Awwww, but whyyyy nooooot?"
I don't see you questioning that synonyms exist, yet you paradoxically question it this time.
Because in this instance it's completely pointless for the numerous reasons I've laid out repeatedly. The word "God" functions just fine in referring to people's concept of an imagined creator deity. You performing mental gymnastics to try and apply it to computer programmers is just silly, as I'm sure you already know.
