So, if we look at the evidence in nature, where does the evidence lead us? How does the evidence answer this question: how did all this get here?
(Can the evidence answer the metaphysical question, why is all this here?)
No. That's just it. The evidence doesn't lead us anywhere yet. Life on this planet and the universe itself is not proof of a god. Is a forest fire proof of an arsonist?
Ummm... I didn't mention anything about a god or proof for a god. My question was "how does the evidence answer this question: how did all this get here?" Certainly we have evidence of a big bang and evidence of evolution that, at least, begins to answer how.
