You forget that Man happens to be part of this beautiful, elegant, complex, and law abiding universe so we can be confident that our existence was planned.
What is baseless is your assumption that the universe did not have some kind of early formation process, but it must've had an origin because it is tangible and visible matter, it's not a spirit.

But Lordo, you don’t come across as having had *any* worthwhile education (well definitely not tertiary anyway) so how can you possibly evaluate me or trust your sense of judgment?
Are you not aware that to teach you must be at least one academic level higher than your students?
At least that’s how it works in the EU but I don’t know about Turkey.

Even if you make the baseless assumption that your existence was planned it still doesn't follow that the one who created you has the intention and ability to provide to you eternal life. Also you argument would suggest that everything created, from plants, to ants, to bacteria etc would have eternal life as well since they would also be "planned".What is baseless is your assumption that the universe did not have some kind of early formation process, but it must've had an origin because it is tangible and visible matter, it's not a spirit.
Arguing for an "early formation process" is one thing. Claiming that this process must have started intentionally by some wise super being who planned everything is what is a baseless assumption.
Also "spirits" do not exist without matter. The only thing that exists that we could call "spirit" is the result of brain activity. Claiming that a "spirit" can exist without matter is yet another baseless belief for which there is no proof.
