The main question here is -
Can finite state machine have qualia?
Because suffering is qualia. If it is not, it does''t matter. It is easy to write a programm that print "i am suffering" if you press a button.
So, God cannot influence on result of work of final automata. But He can give it qualia, or switch qualia off for it - and nobody would ever mention it.
So, existing of final automat Universe, don''t prove absense of God, because God could change qualia without changing result of work of the automat.
