Big Jim,
I see you have not offered any specific scientific evidence for the non-existance of a creator or against creative design for the cosmos. Nothing in science (and for simplicity's sake) I'll only concern ourselves with the science of Cosmology, gives any evidence or clues that there could not be a creator or cosmic design. But there are a myriad of parameters that are clues that the cosmos is fine tuned to the point that makes it more than compelling that some intelligence beyond our comprehension designed it so. I will include only 34 of these for sake of space. There are many more. If any of these were less or more than they are by infintesimal amounts, life could not exist.
Furthermore, there is no instance of there being any effect without a cause in the cosmos at anytime...anywhere.
strong nuclear force constant if larger: no hydrogen; nuclei essential for life would be unstable if smaller: no elements other than hydrogen weak nuclear force constant if larger: too much hydrogen converted to helium in big bang, hence too much heavy element material made by star burning; no expulsion of heavy elements from stars if smaller: too little helium produced from big bang, hence too little heavy element material made by star burning; no expulsion of heavy elements from stars gravitational force constant if larger: stars would be too hot and would burn up quickly and unevenly| if smaller: stars would be so cool that nuclear fusion would not ignite, thus no heavy element production electromagnetic force constant if larger: insufficient chemical bonding; elements more massive than boron would be unstable to fission if smaller: insufficient chemical bonding ratio of electromagnetic force constant to gravitational force constant if larger: no stars less than 1.4 solar masses, hence short and uneven stellar burning if smaller: no stars more than 0.8 solar masses, hence no heavy element production ratio of electron to proton mass if larger: insufficient chemical bonding if smaller: insufficient chemical bonding ratio of number of protons to number of electrons if larger: electromagnetism dominates gravity preventing galaxy, star, and planet formation if smaller: electromagnetism dominates gravity preventing galaxy, star, and planet formation expansion rate of the universe if larger: no galaxy formation if smaller: universe collapses prior to star formation entropy level of the universe if larger: no star condensation within the proto-galaxies if smaller: no proto-galaxy formation mass density of the universe if larger: too much deuterium from big bang, hence stars burn too rapidly if smaller: insufficient helium from big bang, hence too few heavy elements forming velocity of light if larger: stars would be too luminous if smaller: stars would not be luminous enough age of the universe if older: no solar-type stars in a stable burning phase in the right part of the galaxy if younger: solar-type stars in a stable burning phase would not yet have formed initial uniformity of radiation if smoother: stars, star clusters, and galaxies would not have formed if coarser: universe by now would be mostly black holes and empty space average distance between galaxies if larger: insufficient gas would be infused into our galaxy to sustain star formation for a long enough time if smaller: the sun’s orbit would be too radically disturbed, galaxy cluster type if too rich: galaxy collisions and mergers would disrupt solar orbit if too sparse: insufficient infusion of gas to sustain star formation for a long enough time average distance between stars if larger: heavy element density too thin for rocky planets to form if smaller: planetary orbits would become destabilized fine structure constant (a number used to describe the fine structure splitting of spectral lines) if larger: no stars more than 0.7 solar masses if smaller: no stars less than 1.8 solar masses if larger than 0.06: matter is unstable in large magnetic fields decay rate of the proton if greater: life would be exterminated by the release of radiation if smaller: insufficient matter in the universe for life 12C to 16O nuclear energy level ratio if larger: insufficient oxygen if smaller: insufficient carbon ground state energy level for 4He if larger: insufficient carbon and oxygen if smaller: insufficient carbon and oxygen decay rate of 8Be if slower: heavy element fusion would generate catastrophic explosions in all the stars if faster: no element production beyond beryllium and, hence, no life chemistry possible mass excess of the neutron over the proton if greater: neutron decay would leave too few neutrons to form the heavy elements essential for life if smaller: proton decay would cause all stars to rapidly collapse into neutron stars or black holes initial excess of nucleons over anti-nucleons if greater: too much radiation for planets to form if smaller: not enough matter for galaxies or stars to form polarity of the water molecule if greater: heat of fusion and vaporization would be too great for life to exist if smaller: heat of fusion and vaporization would be too small for life; liquid water would be too inferior of solvent for life chemistry to proceed; ice would not float, leading to a runaway freeze-up supernovae eruptions if too close: radiation would exterminate life on the planet if too far: not enough heavy element ashes for the formation of rocky planets if too infrequent: not enough heavy element ashes for the formation of rocky planets if too frequent: life on the planet would be exterminated if too soon: not enough heavy element ashes for the formation of rocky planets if too late: life on the planet would be exterminated by radiation white dwarf binaries if too few: insufficient flourine produced for life chemistry to proceed if too many: disruption of planetary orbits from stellar density; life on the planet would be exterminated if too soon: not enough heavy elements made for efficient flourine production if too late: flourine made too late for incorporation in protoplanet ratio of the mass of exotic matter to ordinary matter if smaller: galaxies would not form if larger: universe would collapse before solar type stars can form number of effective dimensions in the early universe if smaller: quantum mechanics, gravity, and relativity could not coexist and life would be impossible if larger: quantum mechanics, gravity, and relativity could not coexist and life would be impossible number of effective dimensions in the present universe if smaller: electron, planet, and star orbits would become unstable if larger: electron, planet, and star orbits would become unstable mass of the neutrino if smaller: galaxy clusters, galaxies, and stars will not form if larger: galaxy clusters and galaxies will be too dense big bang ripples if smaller: galaxies will not form; universe expands too rapidly if larger: galaxies will be too dense; black holes will dominate; universe collapses too quickly size of the relativistic dilation factor if smaller: certain essential life chemistry reactions will not function properly if larger: certain essential life chemistry reactions will not function properly uncertainty magnitude in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle if smaller: oxygen transport to body cells would be too small; certain life-essential elements would be unstable if larger: oxygen transport to body cells would be too great; certain life-essential elements would be unstable cosmological constant if too large: universe will expand too quickly for solar type stars too form
Please note that this is very inexhaustive list. It goes on and on and we're only looking at cosmology. We could also delve into biology and other scientific disiplines.
I'm the only person here who is not unique.

"If you are stuck in your musical composing, be unreasonable. Change your environment. If you are stuck in your lyrical efforts, instead of forcing the same old words out, force yourself to do unreasonable things." -Brian Austin Whitney
