What I am showing is that we see something with complexity, function and purpose and we immediately assume a mind behind it. Do you not look at something as simple as a letter and assume someone with a mind produced it?

I find it fascinating how we can take something simple as the internal combustion engine and assume there was a mind behind it, but see something more infinitely more complex as the universe and say its pure chance with no need for an intelligence behind it? I don't find that logic very convincing.

Ok, so what is the function or purpose of the universe?
