Absolutely. Shame really.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

It came into existence without the fundamental forces in place, either separately or as a grand unified force. The forces would have had to come after—even though they were needed before. That's magical thinking.
I find it endlessly hilarious and ironic that Christians can claim this before saying that the only answer is God magically poofing the universe into existence. But that's not magical thinking.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
