Ok, thanks for your responses, I appreciate it.
Final question I suppose: since there is no answer for the question of the origin of the universe, why do you not consider that possible evidence for a supernatural entity?

Ironically this loops back to an earlier question of yours: virtually everything humans have ascribed to supernatural causes when there was no better answer has turned out to have natural causes. It's simpler to assume this will be the same.
I don't rule out the possibility of a supernatural entity. But I don't have any proof for one or even anything that suggests to me that one is likely, and therefore the simplest explanation is that there are no Gods.
Then for the most part, they're supernatural. I assume it's possible to come up with philosophical outliers or things that are (for now) considered to be impractical to measure. Is arithmetic fallible, too? This is rephrasing my original comment starting with "If you're a scientist", so I agree! I don't. As per a previous comment: "I simply do not believe in God, and I do not feel I have any reason to believe in God"
