But your reasoning from experience, and your extrapolation of this experience into the cosmos, while perhaps not incorrect, is not MN. This is one of those "Truths" that is beyond science.
And to get at what seems to be your main point, evolution, does not exclude a designer. It may seem that accepting evolution could make it more rational to dispense with a creator, the "intellectually fulfilled atheist", but this is not required of evolution.

I reason, not from Theology or Creed, but that evidentially and
experientially all I know about Design in Software and Hardware tells me
that Design doesn't just happen. There has to be a source of pre-existing
Information or Mind or Intelligence.
