Hoffman introduces at least a third option that he is trying to prove mathematically.

Religions used to think we were the center of the universe. But, science hasn't eliminated a higher power, a soul or other spiritual concepts at least yet.

As Terrance McKenna describes it (paraphrased) Science asks us to grant them one miracle (the big bang) and they'll explain everything else.

I do think you'd find the Hoffman/Spira conversation interesting. Michael Pollan is another good listen on the topic, maybe with Sam Harris.
