There are two "proofs":

A) Everything is finite. So our universe must be the result from a
finite set of rules.
B) Occams razor. Because we can explain everything in our universe
from this finite set of rules, we don't need anything more complicated.

Our universe has nothing to do with different models of our universe. A
model is more like a picture of our universe. You can make a model of a
GoL-universe with red balls, or you can make a model with black dots,
but still there will hold the same relations in both these models. It
is the relations that are the important things.
