I find it difficult to generate a true and unwavering belief in "the
creator."

However, when confronted with the argument that a single
virus-type-thingy/cell sprang into being, by sheer chance, just a
handful of billion of years ago (I would more likely expect such a
phenomenon to take billions-of-billions-of years--if possible), with all
the programming necessary to create an end result of beings with self
awareness, and that this is some sort or "law", the fact that such is
possible ... this cell, so perfectly programmed, was able to "work
towards" multi-celled creatures ... and NO MIND WAS INVOLVED!

Well, I will tell you, long before I am even going to start making all
those guesses, assumptions, and base it all on one single case--life on
earth, I am going to seriously consider that something or some mind
designed it ... "Who made God?" Krist, who knows? But, just as likely
that God came from a cell billions-of-billions of years before
mankind--and does exist--as the possibility of sheer chance beginning
mankind and his predecessors.

However, I am a software engineer and see the sheer fantasy which is
being proposed ... NEVER would all happen "just by sheer chance! (luck?)"

And there is NO law which states, "Extremely complex structures and
lifeforms come into being by sheer luck!" There is no example which
even shows nature has a slight tendency towards such a thing. No
scientist would start basing conclusions on a single occurrence, science
only begins when you have found "repeat-ability" of the phenomenon.

I mean, I would feel like a used car salesman, even thinking about
selling that line to someone BELOW average intelligence! ...

Get real ... fairy tales are best used to amuse children ...
