Do you believe in some sort of God, higher being, creator?

What would happen if we created a computer simulation with various smart evolving Artificial Intelligences? We don't give them any data about us, as far as they know we don't exist. Would they eventually ask themselves why they exist. Would they begin to believe they were created... would they form religions... go to war over their beliefs? However long it takes, eventually the AI's would have one idea for the answer to their existence. If their answer was that they were created by a superior being, I think we can safely say that we were created by a superior being.

Are we intelligences calculating existence for God/our creator(s) to understand their existence?

If you believe in evolution then you don't necessarily believe you were 'created' by a superior being. You more or less believe that you have evolved from prior beings, you being the current 'superior' being as you are alive and the past is dead.

There is no possible way that we aren't. We can't just appear from nothing. We have a creator, the rest is logistics.

Of course I am obliged by law to ask the simplest question that will always beat that logic.

Who created the creator?

Which, by its nature, is an infinitely recursive question.

I like to think of our existence as being on an infinate conveyor belt that just looops at half of infinity and goes back around, never stopping.

I'm not sure, but it makes logical sense to think that God is on a differnt plane of existence, being that this was created for us, and He is on another level outside of this zone we can comprehend. I know it's a fun concept, but it makes sense to me. Saying there is no creator/God I feel is silly, as we cannot have just appeared from nowhere.
