As an pedantic note regarding existential philosophy, while popular religions feature a god or a pantheon that is aligned with and interested in human civilization, these presumptions are not necessary in theistic models.
As counter examples, the Meso-American gods were largely malevolent to humankind, as are Lovecraft's elder gods.
It might be a troubling possibility that even if the universe is a simulation that life on Earth, and all of human history are merely emergent from natural laws doing their thing.
You need to contact Mr. Tyson ASAP
I'm less worried about Dr. Tyson as I am the countess Christian and Muslim apologists who serm to believe evidence in a generic deity or prime mover is significant evidence in favor of their own narrative of preference, especially when they assert their understanding of the divine carries authority in human society.
Laugh at the post
