If you had a Turing machine, yes.

It also assumes you know which of the possible 2^(2^409) possible states the 
universe is in. (2^409 ~ 2.9 x 10^122 bits = entropy of the universe). So don't 
expect any experimental verification.

However, AIXI suggests a simpler explanation for our existence. Consider an 
enumeration of Turing machines, such that the n'th machine is run for n steps 
until a universe containing intelligent life is found. In this case, our 
universe could have been computed in 2^818 steps.
