Again, I'm nitpicking, but the tendency to go from order to disorder is not disorder itself. I'm sure it's an acceptable synonym, but not entirely correct.
I'll stop going off-topic and say I love Charlie Brown. Therefore, Charlie Brown exists.

It's more like entropy causes disorder, but that's because it's nature is disorder. There is nothing else that Entropy is but disorder/dispersement. Sorry, still don't think there is anything to your objection.

We know that all living things on this planet were created by a process of self-organization. If that is true, then doesn't this mean that the universe has to have a "self" to begin with, which doesn't need to be created? Otherwise, I think it's impossible for a collection of atoms to come together and form a living thing if there is no self-organization involved.

No serious theist says that you can prove the existence of God. One can argue that there are arguments for the likely hood of some sought of higher being, that is all.
Quote:1. Charlie Brown built a doghouse for Snoopy.
2. He is a doghouse builder.
3. My neighbor has a doghouse.
4. The existence of this doghouse implies a doghouse builder.
Therefore:
5. Charlie Brown built my neighbor's doghouse.
6. Charlie Brown is real!
I dont see how you get to premise 5? A doghouse builder built the dog house, why not Bob the doghouse builder?
Theism argues that a builder had to create the universe, we just call that builder 'God'
Its ok to have doubt, just dont let that doubt become the answers.
You dont hate God, you hate the church game.
"God is not what you imagine or what you think you understand. If you understand you have failed." Saint Augustine
Your mind works very simply: you are either trying to find out what are God's laws in order to follow them; or you are trying to outsmart Him. -Martin H. Fischer
