The same number of facts atheism/materialism has just better arguments and reason.

There's no evidence that the universe was an accident of a non-intelligent process without a deliberate purpose either. So you have one kind of belief and a different kind of belief both of which fit into our knowledge of the universe/science just fine. I'd say God is the better fit but you don't have to agree, you just have to know the score.
Quote:Your argument is just the god of the gaps.
I don't see how science is meant to discover the meaning/purpose of life and reason for existence. It just explains how things work that's all so it's a different subject. If it's a different subject then it isn't filling any scientific gaps.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
