I agree with you on this Sizzle.

Even the most atheistic secular humanist has to admit that as far as the laws of physics go we have no explanation for the existence of the universe. Matter/energy cannot be created or destroyed as far as we can observe so how did everything that makes up the universe come into being? That unanswered question alone puts all of us in a very "dark gray" area regarding the existence of the universe in general.

That by no means is evidence for the existence of God -- however it should humble us all quite a bit. I personally could even accept the possibility that life could have originated from inorganic matter and become increasingly complex through the process of natural selection. But how did all this inorganic matter come into the universe prior to all that? Nobody knows. We humans really have no reason to be cocky about our scientific knowledge.
