No, it supports the claim that god isn't necessary, that the existence of god doesn't explain anything, therefore there is no reason to believe in the existence of any gods.
You are making an assumption that has nowhere near the information to do so.
If the universe is alive, which is very real possibility unless you can support it being not alive. Then the formation of the universe as it is may have "it's life" as a requirement.
