Do you think the necessary chemicals and other building blocks of the universe could have just materialized out of thin air on their own? If so, how do you justify this belief?

No, but the pot of gold had to come from somewhere. It did not and literally could not have, just created itself.

Flowers that came to exist how exactly? How do beautiful flowers exist on our planet?

That really doesn't mean anything and just sounds like a cop out.

When we observe the universe, we take measurements.
We have observed and noted some very consistent physical laws concerning matter and it's relationship with energy.

Forces that came to be how? Nothing exerts force without being alive. A universe in motion is a living universe.

We have laws of motion that help to describe how bodies of matter interact with each other.
They don't describe how. They are simply observed happening.

And I think you're confused. Evolution does not explain how or why anything exists on our planet. Evolution started long after the planet and all life began.

In time we will.Nothing that even comes close to explaining how or why we have self awareness and emotion and sensation. We can't even determine how a lifeless protein can form legitimately yet.

Yes, the entire universe and all life. Literally everything that exists.
Seek strength, not to be greater than my brother, but to fight my greatest enemy -- myself.
