Blues bro When I look at the natural world in all its wonder , I find it entirely logical to conclude that it was formed by an intelligent creator. I know that many others also look at the same things and conclude differently.
That's so interesting Blues bro, because for me that's the very thing that convinces me there cannot possibly be a benevolent god who takes interest in the welfare of its creations.
As LUHE stated, science cannot comment with certainty one way or another as to a creator god. What we can be sure of is the Genesis account is not possible, since we evolved from an ape like creature some 100 - 200, 000 years ago.
Although the natural world is certainly awe inspiring, as Thomas Hobbes rightly said Life (for the majority of creatures) is nasty, brutish and short. Also the more we learn about other species we share this planet with, the more arrogant it is to think our creator is mainly concerned with us, as his pet project. I learnt the other day that the number of animals who dream is surprising - mammals of course but birds do, lizards and bumble bees. They also have desires....not just needs or wants to sustain life, but they dream about their wishes and desires as do we. Yet so many creatures suffer the most appalling death after a life where every waking our is filled with terror, for the most part.
I mean what God could come up with the idea of a wasp that lays it's eggs inside you so it's larvae will eat you alive from the inside. That's the sort of "natural world" I think of when I question how God could have thought the concept of a predator and prey arms race was a good idea as the driver for the varieties of life.
