Because opinion does not equate empirical data. It is far too complex to have evolved totally randomly. (That's an argument used by primitive civilations to explain things which they do not understand. If you want to be a part of an enlightened society, the first thing you need to learn is that complexity does not require divine providence. But if that concept is beyond your level of comprehension you can always take up astrology, voodoo, crystal ball gazing..... or even republican economics.) The ancients sacrificed each other to the "Gods" of the sky when they were angry (thunder, heavy storms)...same goes for the Gods of the sea, the four winds, etc. St. Elmo's Fire was attributed to the Gods by the old salts and still is in superstitious circles of the old time fishermen... Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.... It wasn't referred as magic. The more answers you learn, the more questions you discover. It's a never ending quest.
