If you want to look at it as a machine would sure. In the image of God you can appreciate the beauty of Gods living creation and see that it is good.

What you really need is random chance and purposeless coincidence? If you say so.

God is the eternal creator of the universe and all beings who exist. That's the idea what did you think God was exactly?

Well God of course, much of what I practice is contemplative prayer though I have some favored verbal prayers. Not all of them are Christian prayers I throw the odd Hindu and Buddhist one in there, there's a good Zoroastrian prayer I like as well. But you can't beat a good Lords Prayer a particularly potent one if you pray it well.
"Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your Kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins,
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power and the glory are yours.
Now and for ever.
Amen."
Try it yourself, make sure you put some meaning into it. For contemplative prayer and counting prayer that has a number of repetitions I find a rosary useful.
Come all ye faithful joyful and triumphant.
