I too have thought about this question at length.
I keep arriving at the "chicken or the egg" scenario. If we are living in a simulation then who developed the simulation? Is it possible that they are living in a simulation...and so on.
Finally, I decided that I have a human brain, and am subject to its interpretation of its surroundings. Our brain attempts to rationalize the universe in order to provide comfort and stay sane. Self preservation.
The idea of living in a simulation is a product of human thinking, therefore it is a device to provide an "order" to things. We cannot comprehend infinite or absolute zero.....that is why we need constructs like these...ultimately, it limits our ability as a species.
Could the simulation thing be correct? Maybe. is it likely? No.
He is the only Ruler, the King of kings, and Lord of lords (1 Timothy 6:15): His throne is in the heavens, and His kingdom rules over all (Psalms 103:19).
