A friend and I were arguing about the beginning of everything.

They said, "Because humans can't create humans (in the non-reproductive sense) then a deity or higher power must have created everything."

I said, "Because humans can't create humans, then humans didn't create everything."

They look at things as Because of X then Y, and I look at things as Because of X then Not Y.

What would describe our ways of thinking? Like, are there words for our styles of thinking and looking at things? Like optimistic or pessimistic, something like that...

Oops, should be "Because of X then Y, and Because of X then Not X"

It's just straightforward syllogisms. Someone states a premise and a conclusion in a rigid and formal form. You simply drawn a different conclusion from the premise than the other person.

So is there like a psychological term for our different ways of approaching things?

In psychiatric terms you are both suffering from severe initellectual disability because with that lack of logical thinking skills you'd fail even the simplest IQ test.

" humans didn't create everything" =/= Not(a deity or higher power must have created everything)

As you claim in
>They look at things as Because of X then Y, and I look at things as Because of X then Not Y.

Also "humans didn't create everything" is vague.

>Because of X then Not X

Uh....
