You can't. It's a manipulative, misleading title. It's just click bait as it is presented.
How is the title manipulative and misleading when the article quotes him saying this?

“I have concluded that we are in a world made by rules created by an intelligence”, he affirmed. “Believe me, everything that we call chance today won’t make sense anymore.”
“To me it is clear that we exists in a plan which is governed by rules that were created, shaped by a universal intelligence and not by chance.”

Second news story this week about this all being a simulation.

That isn't the point. The point is that this specific article has a title attached to it which doesn't follow the content of what was actually said in the article. It is click bait. It is obvious. You have to be purposely disingenuous to not see this. It's just a purposely controversial statement to generate buzz. It works.
GTFO with that thinking.
Jesus is disappointed in you right now.

OK, that's neat. Which god is it?

because he never said "God"?
if the title said "universal intelligence" rather than God, would you have even shared the article?

I find it funny and hypocritical, that if Neil Degrasse Tyson comes on and says that God does not exist, all the "edgy" atheists come on and say, "see, he's a scientist so it must be true".
Yet, when Michio comes on and says that God could exist, then the atheists come here and say "this guy is stupid and isn't a real scientist".
Can we now dispense of the notion that Atheism isn't a religion? Because it is.
One or two people don't sum up all atheists. Plenty of them treat it like a religion. Plenty don't particularly care, like me.
I don't actively believe in not believing. Hell some of these people have weekly meetings about it.

Yep. Found it.
We are ‘almost definitely’ living in a Matrix-style simulation, claims Elon Musk
We are ‘almost definitely’ living in a Matrix-style simulation, claims Elon Musk
quote:Furthermore -
Elon Musk, the billionaire entrepreneur and founder of Space X, Tesla and Paypal, has told an interviewer there is only a “one in billions” chance that we’re not living in a computer simulation.
Speaking at San Francisco’s Code Conference this week, Musk said that he has had “so many simulation discussions it’s crazy”, and that it got to the point where “every conversation [he had] was the AI/simulation conversation”.
He also claimed that, if we’re not living in a simulation, we could be approaching the end of the world.
quote:However -
Philosopher Nick Bostrom put forward the idea that we may live in a computer simulation run by our descendants in 2003. A decade later, Discover magazine reported that it is possible for physicists to test whether we live in a simulation by studying radiation from space.
The 'cosmic ray test', developed by nuclear physicist Silas Beane, involves scientists building up a simulation of space using a lattice or grid.
Beane told the magazine that the 'simulators' who control our universe may well be simulations themselves; a 'dream within a dream' type effect which could render the entire scientific study meaningless.
quote:
Some academics are sceptical of the 'Matrix theory'.
Professor Peter Millican, who teaches a philosophy and computer science degree at Oxford University, said: "The theory seems to be based on the assumption that ‘superminds’ would do things in much the same way as we would do them.”
"If they think this world is a simulation, then why do they think the superminds – who are outside the simulation – would be constrained by the same sorts of thoughts and methods that we are?"

That's a question I highly doubt science will ever be able to answer, thus as I stated earlier the identity of God will always remain a matter of faith.

my gripe was the use of "God"
the title should read "intelligent design"
That word is so dangerous though, it's become far to loaded to have a conversation with. Honestly, God is a more neutral term now. ID is nearly political.

It's all in good fun.
I don't care what you believe. But you can't sit here and say, see, God does exist. Take that atheist.
It's almost as if Christians are just as insecure as the rest if not more.

The question of a god's existence is something science will likely never be able to answer for many.
