And I can verify the software to some degree there, or (more usually) find the bugs. So this is the bug-free simulation? It's easier to run the simulation and see what happens, so much state to initialize.

No one said faith should be based on blind belief. You can most certainly have faith based in evidence. It's not a dichotomy.

There are many religions, and across them they are mutually incompatible. Which ones have evidence for themselves that demonstrates another is false?

Just because there are many mutually exclusive religions, does not imply that none of them are correct. Look up genetic fallacy.

The "Abrahamic" faiths have demonstrated themselves, but only one remains uncorrupted: Islam. You can check out provingislam.com for some hard proofs.

Which is correct, Sunni or Shi'ite?

I have no desire to discuss particular religions. As I said elsewhere, some religions provide explanations which are provably false.
