I sometimes explain it like this. No one would look at program code and think, "I'm glad a cat just walked back and forth across a keyboard and randomly typed out a program that just happened to work".

Yet just one strand of DNA has 3 billion base pairs that have to work just right for us to live and function. That's more coding than this software engineer has made since I started programming my Commodore 64 as a hobby, all the coding I did to get my CS degree, all of the coding I've done in my career, and all of the program code I've seen from others. It's ridiculous to think that DNA came about just from random chance. And that's just DNA. Incorporate all of the things we know about creation ... I'm simply not religious enough to believe in random chance.

To believe that an exceedingly vast, systematically ordered universe, exquisitely finely tuned for life with profound intricate, elaborate complexity and extensive diversity, can be all a result of purely natural processes requires much faith. More so i submit, than that the universe logically testifies to design, requiring a First Cause (at the least), that of a being of supreme power and intelligence being behind the existence of energy and organization of matter, and laws regarding the same.
