Children conclude that the creepy guy in the van just wants to give you candy. Children's logic is not something we should be holding up as a guide. But there is an element of truth here: we think there's a God because mankind, operating like a child, decided that SOMEONE must have made this place. After all... it's a quick, neat answer and you don't have to think anymore after that.

Fine. Then please address the observation found in post 10 by Teotwawki

It is a dilemma. If the first life was a single cell creature that reproduced by splitting, and all life evolved thereafter from that one spark, then somewhere along that unbroken chain life evolved from asexual to sexual reproduction.

If this occurred as a single random mutation, then it was one heck of a miracle to have two fully functioning systems, with all the parts and processes, and that these would be complementary to each other.

If sexual reproduction evolved in incremental steps, then the "survival of the fittest" part of the theory would imply a competitive advantage at each step of the evolutionary process but I fail to see the competitive advantage of a half evolved sexual reproductive system. Even getting past this, it is still a miracle that two systems could incrementally evolve to functional maturity, (through random mutation mind you), and at the end be perfectly complementary.

A simple “we don’t know yet” is enough for rational people. Who on earth comes up with SOME BIG INVISIBLE MAGIC CREATURE DID IT! LET’S FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WANTS! I mean, seriously?
