That is your opinion. I think the probability trends away from naturalism.The God hypothesis best explains the origin of life, consciousness, species, and the universe....that is my opinion. Those are four different/independent problems for the naturalist, and so far science is silent on all four of those problems...and since science can't demonstrate either one, you have no reasons to believe that any of that stuff occurred, so you simple pout and/or frown...and accept by faith that it occurred.
You know, HM... the actual scientific answer to Life, the Universe and Everything IS 42.
What does that 42 mean? I don't know. But I can tell you 42 is beyond time. As an abstract entity, it is always there, has always been there, will always be there... absent of time, it stands true to itself.
How did 42 create the Universe? I don't know. I suppose it has something to do with the first even numbers in reverse order... maybe they can work some sort of "magic".
42 is also a very soothing number, it's easy to memorize and answers everything.
As magical as the Universe was, life was 42's major creation. How did it do it? I know not. It just did.
And then, you get consciousness from 42. 42's all-encompassing mind permeates the Universe itself and, also, life. When it overlaps with a biological brain with enough complexity, it produces biological consciousness. It's a beauty to behold.
All is actually very well explained by science
