Science doesn't support that because science alone cannot determine intent. Moreover, science is largely based on observation, yet we are woefully limited to a very limited sample. And while the diversity of life on this planet is breathtaking, chemically it's largely the same from species to species.
Even further, we have no means to divorce us from that singular sample because we are a part of it. We simply do not have the frame of reference needed to determine if our carbon based, DNA fueled life is miraculous or mundane. And any claims positive or negative on that front are, as I said before, wish casting.
The correct answer is "We don't know." Any other answer is wrong. Full stop.
I agree. At the end of the day, no one really knows, but one can say that God as an explanation poses a lot more logical problems than certain other alternatives.
