That is what the topics consisted of.
Pointing to reality and saying, "look how complex everything is! I can't imagine how it could have happened without a god, therefore it must have been God", is not evidence.
It sure is.
Go to New York City, walk around and tell everyone you can that all that stuff was not the product of intelligence.
Record their comments and report on the findings.

No, go to NYC and ask everyone you can, "Do you understand the difference between a skyscraper and a fucking tree?"

Buildings have designs and designers that demonstrably exist.
Analogy fail.

So there is no need for the experiment you proved my point,
I found a book, never heard of the title, but I know it is a product of intelligence.
There are many products I have come across and had never seen before but I knew they were the products of intelligence.

Analogy fail is right.
We don't detect design because of complexity.
We detect design when we contrast it with NATURE.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

Not at all. We do not know where the complexity of nature comes from. For products of mankind we know and that proves complex design comes from nature.
But that shows that in every instance where we do know where it comes from, it is an intelligent being.
So the scientific principle has been established.
The vast complexity of life is more complex than anything we have made and in fact are very intelligence is a product of that.
Therefore, the vast complexity of life comes from a very intelligent Creator, aka God.

And how is it that you know that? Are you claiming it's a result of pure intuition?
Or is it because you can compare and contrast different objects and use inductive reasoning? (When I say you, I don't literally mean "you", because you apparently can't).

Simple scientific principle and reasoning.

This is all well and good, but it is still a distraction.
The believer cant wrap their head around the absurdity of an "all powerful" god creating everything, who still dodges the nasty crap that exists, and refuses to blame their god for what they didn't have to allow in the first place.
And it also fails to address "which god".
When you pull shit out of your ass you can make any absurdity work and have it both ways.
