There's plenty of theories about that type of thing--how we are in a modeled universe of some sort or another. While this is separate from the traditional idea of god, it's still a bit far fetched. There's not enough data/understanding to really come to a good conclusion about the likelihood or nature of the model, and there's too many possibilities to quote one as the most likely. But again, there is no evidence to specifically support a theory or even the nature of a modeling theory at large. As we have had so many technological advances, it's not hard to make jumps like that, but it's more philosophical than anything else.

At least theories like this have some kind of basis--that technology could be advanced enough to model a universe and that given the rate of technological explanation that hypothesis is actually somewhat likely----but it is still very unlikely, given what data is available at the moment. A theory like this is, however, exponentially more likely than god in the traditional sense.

Yes, yes it's very unlikely, but how unlikely are non created universes? I estimate they are very unlikely as well. More so than created ones. It's very different than a God. I just thought it was interesting.
