Loaded term, because evidence suggests that we live in a purposeless universe by default. Purpose is a humanized concept that we can explain with things like evolution.

That brings us to origin. For one, it again assumes an origin to begin with -- which we don't have *direct* evidence for since we don't yet understand fully the point in time in which Einstein's equations break down, yet we have evidence in terms of quantum cosmology that suggests possible explanations for the universe's "progression" (the simultaneity of events regarding the singularity), but again, none of it is fact yet such that it explains "what the hell really happened." It doesn't mean we have to "believe" in anything until the evidence is more conclusive regarding the question we're addressing directly. Believe it or not, it's okay to say "I don't know." Because nobody does, yet. It's okay to reserve judgment until all the facts are in.

Seriously, quit being a smartass when you have *no idea* what you're talking about. It isn't a "which is it" scenario -- you're loading the terms. "Objective beliefs" in itself is a completely laughable phrasing.
