We could never be greater than God for we would have to always have been and we would have to have power beyond infinite power. So your postulation is meaningless.

We have just as much, if not more, evidence that God created us. Assume that all the humans disappeared because the robots broke our PRIME DIRECTIVE law. The robots would very easily deduce that they were created yet some renegade robots would insist that random metals by chance formed the first cigarette lighter, which later evolved into the current robots.
