Life and automatic gearbox are two different things.

Do you have any evidence of things outside of God's creation, that just appear by organizing themselves into functionality and working?

No, but you want to use God's creation as an example of that?

Do you have evidence that this nature is God's creation?

No, but you want to assert God's creation as if it's an evident fact?

Quote:So apart from nature, including the functionality of the elements and chemicals, you don't have any evidence that things work by themselves.

And you don't have any evidence that a divine mover exists. So again, Occam's razor.

Quote:Things don't work by, or create themselves. That is a fact, not a theory.

Who says it's not a fact? You? And I never argued things can create themselves anyway. Also, a theory in the scientific sense is not the same as conjecture. Good scientific theories are highly credible.
