I think that complexity theory (however nebulously defined it is) provides a better explanation for our existence than the notion of a creator does. The sheer number of probabalisitc events that have occured between the development of life on earth and the theoretical dawn of the universe point to the inevitability of our existence. Given a sufficient number of chances, anything that can happen will happen.
That, and the fact that the concept of evolution seems a more plausible explanation for all of the idiosyncracies of carbon based biology. Algorithms produced via simulated evolution also tend to have similar seemingly random but highly effective structures within them, unlike human-designed algorithms, in which all of the structure tend to be based on obvious design principles.
