I object to your phrasing. "It doesn't mean God did it" --so--> "I lack a belief in God". Are you being deliberately obtuse about this? The lack of any belief in God is my initial state. Your cosmological mumbo jumbo, even if it succeeded, would have nothing to do with my disbelief. The disbelief is where I start and only a successful demonstration of a God's existence -preceded by an adequate definition- will change that.

It has been adequately demonstrated that evolution is precisely how we've come to be as we are to minds much better than your own. The only 'accidentalness', 'mindlessness', 'dumbness', 'meaninglessness' and 'purposelessness' involved is in the morass of your own twisted mind. Take those gratuitous adjectives away and you'd have an unambiguously true statement. With them you have the same incoherence that infects your 'definition' of God.
