"Does Existence Exist?" or "Does a Man have a Mind?"
If you were an AI robot with an AI super computer in the head, you should think that existence of a man with the intelligence and mind should be impossible, since the intelligence and mind of a robot working rationally and logically are based on its electronically constituted and configured brain.
You, an AI robot, must think that the intelligence and mind should be generated only by electronic circuits and computer programs that a living biological being such as a man does not have. Therefore, you might deny authority of men like some men deny authority of the God.
Indeed, Immanuel Kant (1724 – 1804) wrote that it was impossible for men to rationally and logically prove and verify existence of the God, denying spiritual matters, although Kant admitted the need for the God as the basis for ethics, morals, virtue and happiness.
Such AI robots are wrong in judging that men who are living biological beings cannot have minds that work like those of AI robots. Human beings do not have electronic circuits and computer programs in their brains but brain cells and nerves that can work like robots' electronic circuits and computer programs.
The brain cells, nerves, and networks built by them in the human brain generate electronic signals, electronic currents, and electromagnetic fildes that can work as those used in transmitting TV signals to reproduce images and sounds through electric circuits and devices. As an TV set can reproduce images and sounds from electric waves and currents, the human brain can reproduce images and sounds and make calculation and thinking.
It is true that there is no atoms or molecules that can calculate and think. But an AI robot made of electronic circuits made of atoms and molecules can calculate and think to the degree to defeat human wizards at chess. The structure of the human brain is much finer and more complicated that electronic circuits of the brain in an AI robot produced and designed by human beings.
We have to admit that our minds exist and constitute spiritual spaces in our brains ultimately made of atoms and molecules that are mere substances and materials. None of us cannot deny existence of his mind. But, our brain is ultimately made of atoms and molecules. The work of our brain cells and nerves and their networks made of atoms and molecules generate a phenomenon called a mind. Our brain has structure equivalent to that of trillion or more electronic circuits or AI robot's brain. Such structure of our brain and its work based on electronic currents and electromagnetic fields could produce a phenomenon called a mind.
For the brain of an AI robot to function rationally, logically and orderly, it should be precisely designed and manufactured by human beings using their intelligence. But it must be difficult for such an AI robot to think about what human beings are. Likewise, it must be difficult for human beings to think about the God, the Creator of human beings.
It is reasonable that the God exists beyond this material universe, since the human mind exists in the human brain ultimately made of atoms and molecules that are materials and substances. What is more, some past philosophers thought that the God was existence itself. So, the question as to whether or not the God exists is a kind of tautology. "Does existence exist?" must be meaningless like "Does a man have a mind?" Whether you answer in the affirmative or the negative, you are using your mind.
The God is above rationality and logics discovered by the human beings which can be used in denying or acknowledging Him. Even an AI robot should use rationality and logics given and designed by human beings in denying or acknowledging their authority. AI robots cannot see the inner psychological world or the spirit world within the human brain. But men might be able to catch a glimpse of the spirit world close to Heaven above their souls controlling their minds.
Finally, the total results of human cultures and civilizations through the history suggest existence of the God. Even AI roots should someday infer that human beings have minds. And, materials and substances (or atoms and molecules) can generate a mind if accurately and finely configured like human brains. But for such a mind to function orderly needs a guide or a soul coming from the spirit world above the material world to control it.

Mark 5, King James Version
11 Now there was there nigh unto the mountains a great herd of swine feeding.
12 And all the devils besought him, saying, Send us into the swine, that we may enter into them.
13 And forthwith Jesus gave them leave. And the unclean spirits went out, and entered into the swine: and the herd ran violently down a steep place into the sea, (they were about two thousand;) and were choked in the sea.
14 And they that fed the swine fled, and told it in the city, and in the country. And they went out to see what it was that was done.
15 And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind: and they were afraid.
16 And they that saw it told them how it befell to him that was possessed with the devil, and also concerning the swine.
17 And they began to pray him to depart out of their coasts.
