If we don't know something, the answer is then that we don't know. We cannot take a guess based on literally no evidence and then claim that this guess is just as good as anything else.
Your brain is good at seeing patterns and ascribing meaning to them. So yes, you see what small slice of the cosmos you can see, and you make an ad hoc explanation for it in your brain. Try harder to be okay with the admission of "I don't know."
isnt that what the Big Bang religion is though people insisting that they DO know ?
Imagine there's no heaven It's easy if you try No hell below us Above us only sky Imagine all the people Living for today 
Imagine there's no countries It isn't hard to do Nothing to kill or die for And no religion too Imagine all the people Living life in peace You may say I'm a dreamer But I'm not the only one I hope someday you will join us And the world will be as one - John Lennon
The easy confidence with which I know another man's religion is folly teaches me to suspect that my own is also - Mark Twain
