Acts 17:32-34
32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked, while others said, "We will hear you again on this matter."
33 So Paul departed from among them.
34 However, some men joined him and believed, among them Dionysius the Areopagite, a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

Just because it's complex doesn't mean it's accidental.

As someone else already pointed out: the fact that science can't prove it false, doesn't make it true. His existence isn't even falsifiable.
Also, the earth is so complicated that it can't be chance that it exists.
Wouldn't God be even more complex? And why can't it be chance? No matter how small the probability, there's always a chance that an event takes place all the same. In another occurence, we might have had the shape of a pinball machine or sewer rat and still be looking for divine intervention in our creation.
Yeah, yeah I know that perhaps there are trillions of universes with every possibility of life and we just happen to live in the right one,
Not necessarily THE right one, just 'a' right one.
bla bla bla, but if there are so many possibilities of life, surely one of them would have a God in it powerful enough to create the earth anyway.
In this particular context, I think 'god' should be spelled with a non-capital G.

Isn't that more the problem of a believer than an atheist? You're basically admitting that it doesn't take omni* (=omnipotence/omniscience/omnipresence etc., all the special traits that are attributed to God) to create the earth and all life on it.

Sorry. I think you misunderstood my post. When I asked you to "go on", I didn't mean to continue posting like a non-science-knowing, so-called-religious, fanatic. I meant "gettoudda heah!" As in, "I find your views to be so far-out, I wonder if you aren't one of them aliens on the X-files" or whatever, dude (tte)?
EDIT: My fault entirely. In the future, I shall endeavour mightily not to confuse, addle, flummox or hurl when responding to one of your posts.

Your question was answered many times over. One who is asserting the existence of god has no basis for what he is saying.

The opposite of the religious fanatic is not the fanatical atheist but the gentle cynic who cares not whether there is a god or not.
