Atheism:
The belief that impersonal cosmic nothingness that literally "knows" nothing about...
...communication, emotions, love, design, purpose, personal life forms, interactive system dynamics, ethics/morality, extremely complex informatics contained within cells/DNA, etc. etc...
...somehow randomly replicated its impersonal nothingness into first a material something and then on to extremely detailed/complex multiplied diverse somethings and someones which/who do have the above characteristics & attributes...
...and "IT" "accomplished" this not only with intricate living, breathing products but contextually as well via mysterious perfect and semi-perfect environments to sustain such somethings and someones...

This "it" with-so-much potential process outcomes somehow apparently existed forever regression-wise...
...& you now have to philosophically bow -- especially on most campuses these days -- to such materialistic naturalism as your impersonal lord & master...
...& -- given that humankind is continuing to generationally "evolve" and "progress" -- it must also somehow be removing the naturalistically unexplained evil present in humanity's soul.

Makes perfect sense to me. (And it takes even greater faith that I or most could possibly muster! Gotta commend your degree of faith, GreenOgre!)

Now go be a good venture capitalist and harness all that green wind power contained in tornadoes and hurricanes -- and make sure each tornado and hurricane delivers you an assembly line of newly-minted autos and watches. Yeah, we know...perhaps each tornado/hurricane MAY only deliver one segment of the entire "assembly-line" process needed to eventually create a car. But, hey, keep at your faith in such random processes...in multi-hundreds of millions of years, you might just have that 1976 Ford Pinto ready for shoppers! And then "natural selection" will bound to kick in...'cause everyone knows that a 1976 Ford Pinto would need to instantaneously reinvent itself as something else...or it wouldn't survive in any given year's market!
