Because it's a better answer than any other answer so far. Why should I assume a complex functioning universe is here because people talk about random chaotic big bangs they know so little about and still provide no answer to the complex structure of things like living organisms?
I will reiterate your previous statement: "No, that statement applies to all of humankind."That is not an evidence based statement at all.
Once again, you misunderstand what I'm saying, you have said you don't know how the first living organisms came about. The evolution of life is not the genesis of life.
And you misunderstand the second one, because we're talking about why the universe is structured the way it is, and you're just referring how it was created. You really need to think more about what "how" means here. When we speak about "how", we think about what natural means we could use to achieve something, but if God is supernatural and creates the universe by such supernatural means, then "how" is out of the picture.

"where the overall picture is looking pretty clear"How is that?
DaHanG doesn't know how life or matter came about, do you?
And your second response is not much different from asking me "What's the point of a universe? Why bother?". Why would you expect me to answer that? We're here to do what we're programmed to do, and we do it of course because we have no choice! In a way, the good direction from our programming is our God. I don't go seeking to find a creator, that would seem to be a waste of time. I'm happy to believe intelligent design is responsible for life though. I hope people look for signs that evolution doesn't just go by a long process of "random mutations" and natural selection. I would hope whatever was responsible for primordial life made sure it would go in a reasonable direction.
DaHanG, I didn't really say God needs to be involved in the evolutionary process, intelligent design doesn't just refer to God creating life or guiding evolution, it can also refer to an intelligent process (without a God) dictating evolution.
And once again, I will reiterate that the evolution of life is not the genesis of life. So of course it's not going to be helpful because you're talking about something else.
