Yes, pretty much. If we ever acquire the knowledge and technology to create a universe ourselves (which is not technically impossible), that would put us right up there with the Christian God. Beings which might evolve into intelligence within that universe might describe the smelly primates who made their existence the way some smelly primates describe their gods.
I would personally find it hilarious if our universe was created as the result of a science experiment by a child, extremely advanced compared to us, absolutely regular amongst its own kind. How the religious would deal with that sort of revelation would be entertainment of the highest quality. Best of all, that hypothesis is 100% as valid as any of theirs and is backed by precisely the same amount of evidence, so I could be justified in believing it as strongly as Godschild or wooters believes in their god.
