Dawkins [basically] Admits Nothing Can Persuade Him God Exists

Yet atheism is itself is a position that requires much faith. Meaning that an exceedingly vast, well-ordered, systematic universe, finely tuned for extensive earthly life with its exquisite diversity and astounding complexity, came to be by purely natural powers, without a supreme intelligence behind it. Which indeed requires much faith.

And "proof" depends upon the definition of the term. “Proof” can mean having sufficient warrant for a verdict, and much can be offered for the existence of at least a supreme intelligence, a creator and designer[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] - which logically would infer omnipotence and omnipotence - as well as substantive testimony for the God of the Bible being that Creator, including working in the lives of believers today.

It is STILL valid:

Which came first - the chicken or the egg?

When all of the inorganic materials finally assembled themselves into suns and planets and moons and asteroids and dust and...

...(insert cartoon of Step two needs a bit more explanation here)

Then some ORGANic material appears and mixes together and ignores entropy and POOF! life appears.

Then we are off to the races: RIGHT?

I've always wondered why LIFE, when it climbed out of the goo, it waswn't ETERNAL?

How many times did LIFE had to be created from goo before it decides that "This is getting old. I'd better learn how to propagate on the next go-a-round."
