Well, I am certainly no science denialist: I implicitly trust that the physical universe functions independently and is not reducible to any God. However, I also implicitly trust that chemistry is not the source of life; despite the evidence which indicates that it IS... What that means is that despite my rejection of God being the source of the physical I am nevertheless absolutely certain that life is His property.
Which god? There are people who are abolutely convinced, even unto the red font, bolded and italicised, that life is the property of Lord Brahma. And they are in possession of exactly the same evidence for their convictions as you are.
There are others who possess the same evidence of God as I?! You know not what you speak.
There are absolutely no others who have evidence and can reason that God is non-existent and yet simultaneously existent. In other words, all others who believe in God are convinced that He is the legitimate creator of this physical universe: they are compelled to have faith in supernatural causation. I categorically reject any supernatural causation or involvement with this universe; and, yet, I still insist and can logically reason God to be intimately associated with this universe.
