I'll sum up our positions from my POV, and you can point out if I'm incorrect or being unfair.

You: The universe is awesome! I assume something must have built it. I assume that something wouldn't have gone to the trouble, unless it had a master plan in mind.

Me: The universe is awesome! Let's use our brains, skepticism, and the scientific method to figure out how it all works as best we can (you probably agree with this).

The primary difference in our stances is that you make two assumptions that I don't see any justification for.
