I wonder where our complex brain came from, with all of its spiritual energy that scientists hardly have a clue of, with which we are conscious of ourselves, our surroundings; with which we can rationalize, and weigh decisions; with which we can have various emotions - the feeling for love, justice; with which, if we did not have, science and technology could not even exist?
Hmmm. How did all of that come to be built from nonexistent intellect?
Does it not make sense that an intelligent mind caused it - even if you don't know that cause?
This seem reasonable to me, than to suppose non-existing particles popped into existence, and self arranged to evolve to a higher intelligence.
I guess we all see through different lenses though.
Our more complex brain evolved from the lesser complex brain of our human/simian ancestors. There is no spiritual energy that gives us self-awareness and insight. This insight and awareness comes from the evolutionary development, of the language centers in our brain. This development was critical to our survival. There is no insight or self-reflection without the use of language, coupled with our senses. Science does have a clue about the non-localization of consciousness. Science simply don't completely understand the entire process that is involved. Intellect is a term used to represent our ability to learn and reason. It is not a thing that exist externally. It unfortunately allows us to make up things to fill in the gaps, that will confirm our understanding of conceptual ideas. Intellect is like energy, it needs to be used to exist.

Yes it IS true that quantum particles pop in and out of existence. Because particles have both wave and particle properties, they can certainly seem to pop in and out of reality(Quantum Wave Theory). Also, the existence of virtual particles can be tested and measured. The interaction of particles within the quantum fields, with other fields, create the necessary building blocks for life. These building blocks become the matter, that become self-replicating molecules, that become organized matter, that eventually become self-sustaining life. We have intellectually come too far as a species, to still believe that God(s) is the answer to anything that we don't understand. Why God? Why not Thor, Zeus, or the FSM? And, which God?
You are correct, we do see reality through different lens. Your lens has a religious filter, mine has no filter at all.
