An intelligent designer for the natural world? Hogwash. Every stray observable fact a deliberate design feature? Sure doesn't look that way.
The universe we observe looks like forces and properties expressing themselves so far as they can before bumping up against different forces and properties which impinge upon them. I see no creator behind that.
One cloud is less complex than an entire hurricane, but no sane person thinks Posiden is the cause of a hurricane.
Single atoms by themselves are NOT complex. Now if we can accept that atoms make up the clouds that make up hurricanes, then there is no fucking reason for morons to assume that life is caused by a cognition anymore than a hurricane is.
