Here are some questions for you then:
1. Is the universe going through cycles of expansion and
contraction?
2. If so, is it possible that some beings have developed
the ability to survive though the cycles?
3. If so, why do you think it's impossible that they could
have influence on the development of life in the cycles?

You consider WHAT possibility? Exactly how is that possibility calculated?
What is the algorithm?
What do you want us to do, just take your word for it that there has to be a
definite possibility that there might be a deity??
Not a reasonable request.

No, it does not, that is what the term, 'superstition' means, it means 'an
irrational belief arising from ignorance or fear '

Like your irrational religious belief that there might be a deity for
example.
What's so brilliant about subscribing to such stone-age superstition?
