I heard an analogy the other day that I liked: Believing the world, with its ecosystem, and people, with their biological systems, just evolved from nothing is a bit like believing the dictionary on your shelf came from an explosion at a printing factory. It takes a WHOLE lot of faith to accept something like that.

Strangely, did you realize that almost all the the free energy that feeds the world comes from a large exploding ball of gas millions of miles away?
This seems utterly unlikely. What does a large, exploding ball of gas have to do with baby gurgling? Anyone who claims that a large, exploding ball of gas has anything to do with carrots has far to much faith in the wrong things.
The large exploding ball of gas I'm referring to is the sun. It shines down on the earth. The plants use the sunlight to do photosynthesis. Various things eat the plants, which eventually give the baby the energy to gurgle.
Now, the chains involved have been researched and explained -- there are still tricky things involved (we don't understand biology perfectly yet), but mankind is pretty damn certain that the main energy source for life on earth is the sun.
But if you say "babys gurgle because of exploding gas", it looks ridiculous.
Methods that explain how life comes to be, with no need for a designer, exist. Experiments to see if "spontanious complexity" can occur have been done, and spontantious complexity has been found.
A designer hasn't been ruled out -- but there isn't any predictive value to the designer hypothesis. Things without predictive value are discarded in science, because experience has shown that predictive-value-less arguements tend to be hogwash.
