Questions: Religion & Spirituality

Here is one of several of His quotes on the subject.

Mark 9:43-48:

If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where

‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

And if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched— where

‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire— where

‘Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’

I know that this question may seem weighted in one direction but if we simplify the arguments of both religious people and non-religious people, we often find that one very basic argument comes into play. How did everything get here without a creator?

However, if we're questioning the likelihood of the universe and life forming merely by chance, we also have to consider the origins of God. After all, if some people view it as impossible to believe that all of this came about merely through random processes (including but not limited to the Big Bang) we have to consider what is least likely to have come about by chance: the universe as we see it today or a being capable of creating said universe.

Obviously, this will be a debatable topic and so detailed answers are appreciated. I'm interested to hear why both sides believe that their choice is the more likely to have existed by chance.
