Not necessarily.

In all seriousness, you can play God in Black and White.

You can save your game and see how events play out, then reload your game to earlier. That's a form of omniscience.

Given a trainer, cheat codes, or a memory editor, you're omnipotent within the bounds of the world.

If we can make games where we play God, why can't we be nothing more than some other entity's video game?

Relatively speaking, they are a God to us. But in their own frame of reference, they're just some 14 year old kid staying up late on a Saturday night.
