It is neither foolish nor arrogant. A supernatural origin is OF NO USE TO SCIENCE.

It cannot be tested, modeled, applied, falsified, put to repeated rigor nor meet ANY of the rest of what makes science science.

Like so many, you do not understand what science is and its purpose and utility.

You have made a classification error: you speak of philisophy, not science.

So you’ll just keep looking for your keys under the streetlight, even though they’re in the house. The objective on this topic should be to get to the TRUTH. If science is unable to determine the truth, because the truth is beyond its reach, then it’s foolish to keep appealing to science alone. That’s not to say it has no value; it certainly can shed light on many pieces of evidence, but in the end this is a question that requires an evidence and logic-based examination.

And there is an avalanche of evidence that points toward a super-intelligence behind life. Key among that evidence is the enigma of the genetic code. Argue all you want over the origin of the physical substrate that the genetic code rides upon, but there is no materialistic explanation for the existence of a mind-bogglingly complex code, with mechanisms for encoding, decoding, error correction, and replication. Codes cannot exist or store or transmit information unless arbitrary elements (letters of the alphabet, dots and dashes in Morse code, sequences of amino acids in DNA/RNA, etc.) have been assigned MEANING by an intelligence that is external to the physical elements of which it is composed. Nothing is more indicative of an intelligence as its source than a code that can encode, store, decode, and transmit information, especially one that also incorporates sophisticated methods for correcting replication errors.
