It seems to me that there is some kind of an "intelligence" unfolding in the universe when I look at the beauty and complexity of the stars, planets, the variety of animals, plants, the human body, and so many other things in the universe. They are like the fingerprints of an intelligent designer even though I don't see Him directly. So, what I'm saying is that the fact that I believe in God doesn't have to mean that this has to be true only after knowing Him.Then your beliefs are unjustified unless you can demonstrate your epistomology for believing the universe is designed and why they are superior to the natural reasons we either know or believe based on evidence or mathematical proofs, which give rise to patterns in the universe. Teleological arguments were debunked by David Hume centuries ago.
Tell me what does a 'disordered unvierse' look like? Does it look like millions of stars exploding every second, galaxies collapsing in on each other, superclusters flying away at ever increasing speeds? Guess what....
