I believe in God.

God created me “from dust”, but not through using magical supernatural powers. DNA and cellular processes were both necessary and sufficient to create my body and my brain. That doesn’t mean that God did not create me. I was created by God “from dust” and “to dust” I will return.

Right now stars are forming through gravity and nuclear fusion. God created those stars, just as HE created all things - but he didn’t need magical supernatural forces to do so. Gravity and nuclear fusion are both necessary and sufficient to explain the creation of Stars. Yet God created those stars.

I believe and worship God, why would I mock him?

I mock the ‘god of the gaps’ who created a shoddy reality that supposedly needs constant supernatural intervention in order for things to ‘work’.

That is not God.

This seems to be a contradiction. Are you saying God is of the "natural" and not "supernatural"? If God is supernatural, then of course, creation of the materials from which you are made and the processes by which you were physically formed came about through supernatural powers.
