A simple refutation of a silly idea

Somehow people seem to think that we might be living in some kind computer simulation.  See, for example, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_reality

In fact, evolutionary theory proves that there is no intelligent designer of the world. Thus, the idea that we are living in a *designed* simulation is incompatible with the theory of evolution, and can be dismissed without further ado.

I am well aware that bad ideas never die, and that there will be those who somehow want to dismiss this argument.  They are, quite simply, wrong.
