Is there any rational argument for 'the existence of God(s)' that couldn't also be used as an argument that 'we're living inside a Simulation'?

I'd say few of the classical arguments work. The A. from Design (in a reasonable versions, e.g, fine-tuning), sure. The Ontological A.? I don't see it. First Cause? No: in the simulation the FC just gets pushed back the world of the simulator.
The 'First Cause' argument is the most vacuous, semantic argument I've ever encountered. Not convincing at all.

For me, a working definition of "rational argument" is an argument with some support in academic philosophy. If you're defining it as an argument that you personally find rational, then you're obviously right, but IMO the question becomes less interesting.
