It doesn't "support" the idea of a God. It simply makes the idea of the universe coming about without a God terribly implausible verging on impossible.

Therefore allowing for a rational basis to conclude that it's much more likely that a God exists.

This argument is not easy to refute, but I have some possible answers to it.

The way that you put it, this entire idea is based on trying to explain the universe by injecting a designer into the equation. Something is highly unlikely and we can't explain it, so god must have done it, right?

What are your answers to it?
