  We study the emergence of de Sitter space in Euclidean dynamical
triangulations (EDT). Working within the semi-classical approximation, it is
possible to relate the lattice parameters entering the simulations to the
partition function of Euclidean quantum gravity. We verify that the EDT
geometries behave semi-classically, and by making contact with the Hawking-Moss
instanton solution for the Euclidean partition function, we show how to extract
a value of the renormalized Newton's constant from the simulations. This value
is consistent with that of our previous determination coming from the
interaction of scalar particles. That the same universal constant appears in
these two different sectors of the theory is a strong indication that EDT
provides a viable formulation of quantum gravity.
