When we say "everything" as an explanation, it is identical to "nothing" in practice.
For example, if "everything" is evidence for the existence of god, than my morning erection would fall under that header. Unfortunately we have a simpler and much more well demonstrated cause for this phenomena.
All things are caused by a 'prime mover', called by some the 'big bang'. If all things/events/actions radiate from this 'prime mover', like ripples in a pond after a stone has been thrown into it, we can say this 'prime mover' is our creator and all things are it's will. We are part of it's 'plan'.
The laws of physics are finely tuned, allowing for life. While it could just be chance that we are lucky enough to live in a habitable universe, there is no evidence of other universes. Therefore if we assume this is the only universe we can assume it has been made especially for us to live in. The only force capable of such a feat would be God(s).
There was no incentive for humans to evolve sentience - if anything it is a burden to us. We could have lived in perfect harmony with nature as clever monkeys, instead we destroy our environment like a virus. No other living thing has evolved sentience - why not if it's such an advantage? Therefore the fact that evolution has favored something not beneficial to us indicated that some other force pushed us in that direction - God(s).
If there is no evidence suggesting God(s) don't exist we should assume God(s) do exist - to not do so would risk angering it/them.
