Thank you. This is exactly my whole point.  At some point no one can
explain, in even the most remote sense, our ultimate origins.  No
theory or even the most high-level intuitive, educated guess even
begins to be adequate.  Be the reality an all-powerful eternal God or
an all-powerful, eternal, mindless Quantum Vacuum, both concepts are
completely beyond human understanding - "beyond searching out".  And
yet, one of these concepts must in fact be true. Even though we
ultimately cannot understand how we came to be, we can in fact see
evidence that supports one of these two options.

As I noted before, our universe is indeed so perfectly balanced that
even well known secular scientists, to include many physicists,
recognize that this universe seems to be tailor made to support life
(i.e., The Anthropic Principle).  Beyond this, life itself (as well as
the level of functional complexity that is involved and formed by
living things) simply does not arise in this universe beyond the
lowest levels of pre-established functional complexity.  Novel
emergent functions simply do not arise very far beyond their starting
point without pre-existing life or pre-established levels of
informational complexity that are at lest equal or greater than those
levels of functional complexity that are subsequently produced.

Informational evolution simply does not happen in this universe, in
living or non-living matter, beyond the lowest levels of functional
complexity (complexity not chaos) *unless* it is directed by a higher
source of pre-established informational complexity - period.  And yet,
life and systems expressing very high levels of emergent
functional/informational complexity are here both within us and all
around us.

Given this evidence, it seems to me that the only reasonable option,
between two equally mysterious ultimate causes, is the option of an
eternal, all-powerful, personal, directed Intelligence that many
people refer to as "God".  The evidence clearly rules out all known
mindless processes in this universe as the source of the very high
levels of informational complexity in what we see all around us.  We
simply have no rational choice but to recognize the signature of
unimaginably great intelligence and power in all creation.
