The options are that either you think we just got lucky to have a planet full of delicious, nutritious, energy providing food for 8.7 million different species of life as well as being lucky by having healing herbs and plants to derive medicines from OR you think it's clear that higher intelligence was involved. There are no other options.

Everena: A Strawman argument is when you avoid the question that was asked and deflect by answering a different question. That is exactly what you did and you are now doing it again.
I'm finding it increasingly difficult to take your statements seriously, so I'll only respond to this portion of your reply.

You don't have to go through life thinking scientists believe that whatever preceded the initial expansion was analogous to a large rock; or that 14 billion years is way too short a time for something like a human to arise by natural causes somewhere in the universe.
We just popped out of nowhere in a meaningless, unguided, and un-created universe over a period of 4.54 billion years on an earth somewhere in the universe? I'm not buying it. The evidence points elsewhere.
This is a good example of a strawman argument. We aren't claiming that the universe just popped out of nowhere. It's entirely unclear that there ever was a literal 'nowhere' for it to have popped from. As I said, there are wonderful books on this subject that are quite accessible to the layman and should be a cakewalk for an engineer. You do want to know more, don't you?
