False. Creation and its beauty does not equate to a creator.

And as I've repeatedly told you whenever you bring this up, so it's weird that you keep skipping over that, when the bible claims this thing, it is factually in error. For creation to attest to a creator, one would need to first establish that reality is a creation: it requires evidence- which you have utterly failed to provide- or dishonest presupposition- which you seem happy to flaunt.

This biblical claim is a self reinforcing delusion, but it only functions if you already agree with it. "I agree with this book when it tells me I have no choice but to agree with it," isn't an argument. Dodgy

I have an excuse for not believing in him. I don't even know anything about him, least of all that it even is a him. I also don't see why I and what my mind allows me to believe should be held accountable to some presuppositionalist judgement in a mythology I put no more credence in than Jack and the Beanstalk, written centuries before I was conceived..

Your move.
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.'

Jack and the Bean Stalk are real. Why do you think we have beans to eat? Keep you eye peeled for Jack & Jill. When they get mad they stop bringing people water.

Your god sure did create everything in an unconvincing manner then, eh? But I'm with you, who needs faith..you can see the rock - therefore god.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
