You may as well argue that we are the only life in the universe because ..... Why not?

We have a sample of one of one to make an accurate judgement. Hence, we can't.
Same goes for our universe.

One can easily hypothesize that since this universe exists, why not others?
Either parallel or sequentially...

We can't know how the laws of the universe will manifest themselves in "other" universes.
All we know is under this particular universe, life has resulted.

Under this particular universe, life was mathematically certain to eventuate...
No need for consciousness as a prime mover.

I'm very comfortable not knowing, hence my inability to believe in something even more ridiculous.
It's just not logical....that and the fact that the concept of a god is extremely abstract with no bearing on our current reality.

I'm comfortable too, thats why I'm agnostic I guess, but I label general words to certain concepts. I simply don't know how we can acknowledge existence and not think that their is something to this. That if nothing created the universe that we would be here. "Something" had to create us or we wouldnt be here, no matter how disconnected from us or disinterested in us it is, there is still something going on. I suppose the best I can say is that it's the fish in a fish bowl type of description. or trying to explain the solar system to a bull frog. Well never be able to understand it. Even in and past death...wherever that my lead.
