What exactly is cringe worthy about saying atoms are plentiful in the universe? I'd say odds are pretty good in a universe full of 100s of billions of galaxies that life exists elsewhere and I am sure it won't be long that we will at a minimum prove that microbial life exists elsewhere in our solar system or at least that it can survive on it's own. Mind you I don't mean life as in conspiracy crap like Area 51, but simply it is possible for life to adapt on different planets in the universe.
And also what is cringe worthy about saying the god of the gaps is not an argument? It isn't. Allah nor Yahweh nor Vishnu nor Thor explain anything other than that humans have vivid imaginations.
