Okay, so what makes you think this is true? I'm wondering how on earth we would even figure out how to answer this question, let alone be sure of the answer.

whereas if there is no deity, universes have to form spontaneously, which requires a lot of things to fall into place perfectly.

What has to fall into place for this to occur? Exactly how unlikely is it?
