This paper is written for readers who have a prejudice against an infinite universe or are even frightened by it and, moreover, are more used to think in the language of computer simulations (by the author considered as a philosophical reasoning) than in that one of a philosophy studying the epistemological state of natural science and cosmology. The author gives those readers arguments saying that an infinite universe should not necessarily be avoided on philosophical grounds. Furthermore, he argues that (i) paradoxes like a repeating behavior in the infinite can be alleviated by a realistic definition of differing lives, (ii) the super-exponential growth in the rules of a cellular automata can be used as an example of surpassing the holography bound, and (iii) the notion that our universe could simply be the inside of a computer existing in a larger universe should be critically questioned.
