We don't know, but not knowing that shouldn't blind us to the signs of intelligence all around us.

Suppose life on earth disappeared and aliens entered our solar system and found the space station circling our planet. Should they assume it's an artifact of nature that simply looks designed? I'd say any such aliens that proposed the space station was an artifact of nature would be basing that on faith, not on evidence.

jump from the natural world that can be observed to the supernatural where one must have faith?

If you assert things about the natural world that aren't sensible, you're basing that on faith.

No evidence for the supernatural.

I say if you see things that can't come from nature, the only rational alternative is the supernatural.

The personal God of the bible is uncreated, eternal and self-existent. Yes!

"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible,
whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth
? We know
that he did not come through the door, the window, or the chimney. We also know
that he could not have been concealed in the room, as there is no concealment
possible.


It's impossible for something to come from nothing. The universe is created and therefore must have a cause outside of itself. The big bang needs to have a big banger.
