It seems wasted breath and brain cells to ruminate over such a concept. It comes down to whether or not your existential paradigm is more functional as an atheist or as a theist.
We will never through the process of infinite regression reach a point of singularity. I personally just believe that a deterministic outlook that accepts everything as being chaotic and random to be very bleak. My world view is makes much more sense if accept the paradigm of an intelligent universe.
