I'd like to think you are being stupid on purpose John but based on previous experience with theists on this forum, i believe you are actually this stupid
'The more I learn about people the more I like my dog'- Mark Twain

'You can have all the faith you want in spirits, and the afterlife, and heaven and hell, but when it comes to this world, don't be an idiot. Cause you can tell me you put your faith in God to put you through the day, but when it comes time to cross the road, I know you look both ways.' - Dr House

“Young earth creationism is essentially the position that all of modern science, 90% of living scientists and 98% of living biologists, all major university biology departments, every major science journal, the American Academy of Sciences, and every major science organization in the world, are all wrong regarding the origins and development of life….but one particular tribe of uneducated, bronze aged, goat herders got it exactly right.” - Chuck Easttom

"If my good friend Doctor Gasparri speaks badly of my mother, he can expect to get punched.....You cannot provoke. You cannot insult the faith of others. You cannot make fun of the faith of others. There is a limit." - Pope Francis on freedom of speech

Perhaps the universe itself is some kind of vast sentient brain and we're little compartmentalizations of this vast network of intelligence or some shit like that.

You see there how the structure of the universe and the structure of the brain are both very similar in composition. Though I'm making a wild assumption based on practically no evidence and my own imagination here. You don't go from complex organised structure straight to the Bible or the Quran those can still easily be human made inventions. If a genuine supreme being did author the Bible I can't help but think it would be something vastly more impressive in scope rather than limited to the small geocentric flat Earth worldview of the people alive at the time.

When it come to the ultimate questions of why the universe exists at all, why the universe ended up the way it did, how did the very first lifeforms emerged from non-living material the fully orthodox atheist position is this.

We don't know and we don't mind not knowing. Potentially in the future we may get to find out at least some of these answers for definite which is exciting. Just saying "God created the first lifeform by magic" isn't very interesting and we wouldn't be bothered to get off our asses and find out if we just assumed that. Everything else in the universe was created through a complex natural process so we can assume life was as well. We understand how the organic compounds formed at least that's a start. If there was intelligent design/intention involved it could be something like the film Prometheus for all we know.
