You're so close, you're just a bit confused. I'm not trying to be an ass, but really, look at what you've just said...
"a naturalist/coincidental origin of humanity and the universe could possibly win me over, but there hasn't been anything so far."
Natural is all we have to go on. There is no evidence for the supernatural. You are insisting that supernatural exists, yet, you have been unable to prove it. This isn't a personal attack on you. Nobody has been able to prove it. That's why there's good reason to think that The Universe IS natural. You see? We know we can't prove that everywhere in the universe is natural in every little particular, and to do so would be quite impossible. So, we can't and don't say for 100% certain that it IS natural, so we just say it's more likely and feel comfortable leaning in that direction. But it's only possibly false by virture of intellectual honesty.
All we have is natural.
There's no evidence for supernatural.
We don't believe in supernatural (or anything else) without good reason.
This HAS to make sense to you. It's the most rational and reasonable position that anyone could offer you. Don't believe stuff without evidence or reason. That's an Atheist dude!! It's a pretty sweet way to live.
