RE: The vast complexity of living things proves that God exists (proof 1)

I have a question:
Why aren't you answering TheBeardedDude's questions?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

What kind of life would be consistent with God not existing according to you?
How do you demonstrate the plausibility of this?
The problem is how do you explain the complexity of the life forms that exist without God.
By evolution. Variation and selection. C'mon, keep up.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.

I dont understand how the only conclusion that you can come to for the explanation of our existence is for some great creator. The universe is unfathomably vast, how much bigger would that make god have to be? Some being thats been around forever and will be around forever is not going to be so mortally concerned with what ive done in my 80+/- years here and for humanity. What could we ever offer an infinite being of that magnitude? The greatest thought of our finite philosophies to the fullest capacity couldnt even begin to challenge/interest an infinite mind on the lowest of levels. To think something like that exists first is not something we could comprehend and that itd be interested in us is a fallacy. How often do you say "I wonder what those nanobes think of me?"

So you keep saying. What was it someone said recently - "Your assumptions are not evidence"?
Don't just assert it - show your work. Otherwise there's no escaping Hitchens' Razor.
