Asimov:
In short, the complexity of the universe—and one's inability to explain it in full—is not in itself an argument for a Creator.

You:
True, not in and of itself. But it is ONE argument for a creator.

Actually, no. It's not an argument at all. Unless you want to claim that anything we can't explain today is an argument for a Creator. There have been too many previously-unexplained phenomena (disease, lightning, fertility, weather, etc.) that were once attributed to the Olympian gods, but which we now know to be natural phenomena. Will you allow the claim that things we can't yet explain are still good arguments for Zeus' existence?

Despite {or, perhaps, through} your manifest arrogance and vitriol, it is apparent that you are clinging to the preposterous, threadbare creed of Evolution with the ferocious fervor of a fanatical, yet uncertain, religious zealot. Rant on at the altar of Darwin!
