So you surely believe the idea we're living in a simulation of some sort is complete bunk?

For now, yes. Neither theory explains anything and both involve the invention of a higher order and have the same prime mover problem.

Any attempt to explain the existence of the universe has a prime mover problem. Either way causality has either been violated, or causality is meaningless outside the confines of the universe.

None will ever be proven. Any attempts to describe what happened before the first moments of the universe are inherently religion or philosophy not science.
