As Justin said, how does one reject the rejection of a claim?
Theists claim a god exists. Atheists simply do not believe their claim.
What 'coincidences' are you referring to? It really doesn't matter what you are personally a fan of. It matters what can be demonstrated as true by evidence and reasoned argument. Your personal incredulity is pretty much meaningless.

Dawkins never claims to have the complete explanation. That's why he's a scientist.
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
