You are arguing a logical fallacy. Appeal to ignorance / god of the gaps.
Logical fallacies are fallacies. They are not rational.

You're making a material assumption. You make the assumption that the universe is only and can only be material (no God, Justice, Love [chemical processes], soul, etc.). I'm making a divine assumption.
Reason, by the way, isn't materialism. It's a tool wherein you plug in premises (your assumption that the universe is/ can only be, material, for example), follow some rules (such as non-contradiction), and come up with non-emotional (unless your premise is that emotion makes something logical), objective conclusions.
This is off-topic. I won't reply anymore. I just see people make these mistakes and wish to correct them.
