Atheism requires a stunning level of “head in the sand” denial of reality.

Why? It is impossible that unimaginable complexity and design could spontaneously arise solely from time plus blind chance.

I recall a biologist comparing the inner workings of a cell (any cell) with the vast infrastructure of a major metropolis, including electrical, water, sewage, roads, communications, etc.

The same biologist concluded by admitting that this limited understanding only begins to scratch the surface, and that we only know about 3% of what is going on inside a typical cell.

The book of Genesis provides the only eminently reasonable explanation: “In the beginning God created...”

Not true! Practically every religion has its own holy scriptures or at least oral traditions and its own "creation myth."

Which of the thousands have you chosen to believe?

The “Complexity” argument for intelligent design never made sense to me. We can only observe one reality. It could be “complex” or it could be “simple,” we can’t know since we have nothing to compare it to.

IOW, asserting something is “complex” begs the question, “Compared to what?”
