What are the odds that intelligent life could emerge from stars being born and exploding at their deaths? What are the odds that out of complete chaos a complex entity like a human being could be formed? It’s scientifically nearly impossible that the collision of forces that resulted in life could ever have happened or ever happen again. That is enough for me to see that there was a Divine hand guiding this scientific process the whole time- the evolution of life is ingenious and suggests intelligence far beyond blind natural forces.

But at the end of the day, faith is based on trust and hope. All the logic and rational philosophical arguments in the world pale in comparison to the human experience of revelation from hakadosh baruch hu. The midrash says that even the lowliest shifchah saw more at yam suf than yechezkel ben buzi. If only we could merit to see hashem as clearly as those shifchos and have a relationship with him, rather than the philosophers who thought of God in the abstract and were after intellectual understanding of God and his ways. This approach is not bad, Rambam was even a proponent of it, but far inferior to feeling a personal connection to god.
