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 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.
That probably has a lot to do with the fact that while we see billions of people all around us producing a wide variety of things both simple and complex, any alleged creator god is conspicuous by its absence.
You can imagine god did it. I can imagine the Universe unfolding as a result of the physical properties under which it operates. I know which one has more evidence.
