Why do atheists claim that the concept of God is so unlikely

Most atheists will claim that the facts show the concept of a God to be so utterly unlikely as to be considered impossible.

But, this is not what the facts show at all.

The theory of Evolution does not explain the origin of life, nor can it explain the existence of life from the first organic cell onward.

How does natural selection explain the eye, for example? How can atheists claim that complex organs like the eye could have evolved, when everything we know about the eye says that it is useless unless all the components are in place at the same time.

As for reptile-mammal transition evidence, where is it in "evidence"?

What are the actual mechanics that achieve it? Not speculation, actual. Not variation in a genus [which evolutionists cling to as being evolution]. Biological changes where a living entity can be observed to be changing into something different, breaching the barriers of its DNA.

For reptiles to become mammals, that breach must have happened. So, someone please show where reptiles are in a state of doing so today - where that transition is taking place.

The facts show that what is overwhelmingly in evidence is what the Bible itself says, that like begets like, and we  all rely on that to occur in all facets of life, from growing/eating fruit and vegetables through to human/animal procreation.

It seems that the evidence supports the concept of God, rather than the atheistic claim that "God probably doesn't exist".

Evolution does not attempt to explain life's origins. I'm not sure why theists want to conflate evolution with abiogenesis. Stating a god did it, or magic, is a non answer. Anyone can say that whatever their god is, did it, and their opinion would be just as valid as any other explanation that can't be tested in a lab.

We actually have a good idea on how eyes came to be, if you want to look it up. I've never heard of reptiles to mammals. Only reptiles to birds. Scales into feathers, for instance.

There's overwhelming evidence that the bible is wrong about a lot of things. Some things it gets right, but a lot it gets wrong.

Unless you have concrete evidence for a specific deity, and not just "I don't know the answer, so I'll stick a god in there", then we can safely assume gods don't exist. Inserting one into gaps in our knowledge doesn't help us further our species.
