Sure, but it wouldn't effectively matter, would it? Whoever or whatever created our simulation of a Universe, if proven to be real, would serve the purpose of God and effectively prove such a God's existence. We would just shift the debate to where militant Christians would claim this is proof of the Biblical God, and militant atheists would say it proves those stories are bullshlt because whatever "creator" we found is no God (says who, by the way?). Pointless distinction, if you ask me.
It would altogether change the tenor of such arguments if we found that there was a being that could be defined as a God, but lacked the attributes of the Christian God. Details such as omnipotence or omniscience are important and it could be argued whether such attributes could be imputed to these sufficiently advanced aliens. However, it would make no sense to identify them as the origin of morality, as the Christian God is held to be.
