> dhw: I find it perfectly feasible that either this universe has existed for eternity, or first cause energy has spawned an infinite number of universes throughout eternity. That offers an infinity of combinations of matter, and if you have an infinity of combinations, anything is possible.-Very large numbers of chances can be very comforting. Unfortunately there is no evidence of many universes, and we are trapped in one universe which had can obvious beginning. It is easier to decide upon an intelligent first cause.

To maintain that such a mind must exist though we don't know how it could have come into existence is just as huge a cop-out as the argument that we are here but we don't know how we got here.-It is not a cop-out. It is reasoning to the best solution to the puzzle.
