Do we live in a universe where theism is likely true? (video)

As a creator of everything, he must.
Ancient Egyptians even worshiped the Dung Beetle. 
His creation can also be seen in disease and death. It reminds humanity with its weakness, and reminds us that we're not in control.
Infants born with chronic illnesses are a grim reminder that we are nothing but what our genes say, by the order of a higher deity.
Rape and murder by humans on the other hand, is an utter crime. Because it has no true meaning; no guarantees of an afterlife, and no guarantees of a judgment hour.
In such a world, then God is irrelevant.

Quote:We live atop of the ball filled with water.
The burning star can be seen in the morning. It's beautiful at sunrise and sunset.
This could be evidence for God, but it is at least as good evidence for other ideas. What about these forms of evidence support the idea of God over that of not-God?

Quote:So what? We are part of a system greater than ourselves, and nobody denies it. We just deny that Sky Daddy made it that way.

The system itself is too organised. The variables are so so many.
Who says so, and on what basis are these assertions made? What does it mean for something to be organized, and why does this require God?

Water understands that it should put out fire. Stars understand that it must burn its fuel.

You are pretty seriously abusing the meaning of the word "understands."
