For example; having consciousness. Then having planets with orbits, then having the laws of nature. It is too fishy that it indicates that there must be a designer behind it all.
Well, it didn't take long for there to be one big argument from ignorance fallacy.
Sorry, but just because you don't have explanations for the things you mention, does not mean that there are other people that do.
And even if explanations are not yet known, does not mean your unsupported assertions become the best answer by default.
This is exactly what Jehanne meant in post #2 by saying that theists have no good reasons. Thanks for demonstrating that fact.
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.
