How did a universe (or a multiverse) come into being out of nothing? Why is our universe, against all probability, fine-tuned to support any kind of life? You say there is zero evidence for God, but you are equivocating. What you really mean is that there is no scientific evidence. The problem with this reasoning is that these are not questions that science can answer--these are metaphysical questions.
No, there are no GOOD reasons to believe that. There are emotionally satisfying reasons, There are no good reasons to believe that a god exists, let alone created anything. Fine-tuning? Please. There is no metaphysical evidence either. Because there is no evidence of anything metaphysical.
