It's not that God would be a lower level designer, it's that you are on a low level design.

Whether God is perfect, I don't know. Keep in mind that even if this theory is proven, it would only prove that he's a "low-level god or designer," who may be within someone else's simulation. Nobody knows much about The "Ultimate Creator" or Designer.
Now if you ask me what I think of this low-level god or designer, then assuming that I've understood all of his actions correctly(and not me trying to rationalize his actions), then I would say that he's very logical and pragmatic. I would say that he seems to have put a lot of thought into this "simulation."
What's scary is that it also appears that he DOES have the characteristics of a "video-gamer."

Even in the almost impossible case there were anything to this, it would not change physics overall. It would not give us special powers. You walk into a wall it hurts and the wall remains. You jump off a cliff, you die. Even the demonstrable stuff like walking on fire is not so impressive after you know how the illusion of danger is accomplished and realize there is nothing remarkable about it.

Finally, whilst string theorists are working hard to make sense of some enormously complicated issues, they are far from understanding everything - those equations may be wrong or at best grossly incomplete. Sure parellel universes and altered timelines seem plausible IF you take a number of things "on faith", as dictated by these theorists. Let's not forget it is called string THEORY for a reason.

If we have error-correcting code in our DNA wouldn't we be perfect by now? Wouldn't it have corrected all genetic anomalies?
Maybe the parameters don't specify perfection. If we were perfect we'd be God.edit on 22-3-2012 by rtyfx because: (no reason given)

We DO have it, and no. This error correction only occurs during newly synthesized DNA as far as I'm aware.
