A cold, black, empty space doesn’t support such logical conclusion based on such hypothesis.
For a hypothesis to be taken seriously it has to be logically consistent and not some contortion that would bend the logic to fit the hypothesis.
I suppose we can assert that we live in a universe which is designed to perform a function we cannot comprehend, as the scale is too great for us to really make sense of it, designed by a designer operating on a level even our imaginations can't describe.
The other side of that coin is, we then lose the justification for asserting a design at all, since it is necessarily incomparable both in scale and function to our own designs, and our own designs are all we have to which we can compare it.
Hence, my stance of who cares either way.
