What's wrong with existence being accidental or random? I mean, I remember earlier having a similar discussion about meaning in life. Just because there is nothing outside of you justifying your life to you (ie, God, religion, etc) DOES NOT mean that you can't justify your life yourself. Its a poor conclusion to say that just because we were an accident that things are meaningless...

Otherwise, if all you meant was that "There are too many coincidences, so I don't by that the world is an accident" then thats your judgment call... But the jump from that to religion is pretty unjustified. The only way to accept religion is to BELIEVE in it first, and THEN you add your rationalizations for it ("things aren't that random," "I see God in little things," etc. etc.)
