Is Turing correct by claiming computers have minds if they can pass the Turing test? What does Searle's Chinese Room Experiment prove? Do computers have minds?

Suppose that just as computers are created by humans in this physical world, humans too were created by a superior intellect and perhaps immaterial entity, or being from the spiritual world or non-physical world. Suppose humans were imagined into existence by some absolute mind/soul and so our lives are lived out in accordance with Berkeley's Idealism within the mind of this being. Supposing that such superior beings and intellects exist, would they think humans do not have minds just like humans do not think computers have minds? Could human beings have been created with minds no better than, or in fact inferior to, minds of computers that merely adhere to what is programmed into them? What makes the human mind any different, better, or worse than a computer?
