I don't claim to know how the universe came into existence. All that I do know is that I exist. I cannot explain with certainty as to the origins of life or the universe and as such I make no assumptions. Assuming that some intelligent entity of some kind that exists beyond the universe is an assumption based not on evidence for its truth but ignorance of any alternative methods. I personally don't care for the "proof by ignorance of alternatives" method.

Perhaps it seems to you that "accidental life" is impossible. Maybe accidental life is impossible, but I cannot bring myself to believe in miracles simply because I don't happen to know of a better explanation.

No, it is based on evidence, it's just that the evidence is not empiracally testable.
