Some cells have molecular "outboard motors" that propel the cells through liquid. In any other Context, when such functional complexity is evident, People would conclude that these things were Designed.
Well, creationists would conclude these things were designed. But, one could also interpret this in a way that cells which had molecular supply transports would be more prone to become dominant. Cells with trucks that work better than others, would become more dominant than the others. and cells that have signs telling them where to stop, would be more efficient and therefor have a better survival rate than those without. and even within the stop-signs, those with stop-signs in the wrong places would die out, leaving only the cells with the stop-signs that work. To me, concluding that it's the work of design speaks of laziness. Rather than explore the cause, rather than accept we may not be able to yet, we attribute it to a designer because we can't come up with an answer right now. This is what I've been trying to get at this whole time, god is just being credited for everything we haven't yet explained. And when we do explain it, we move on to the next thing.

I used to believe you know. Till I was 18 I was firmly convinced there was a god, I prayed to him frequently, I even argued for his existence a few times. But at some point, I suppose I reached some point of mental developement, and I started asking all the questions. I realized that all my logic for supporting god was based on a system where his existence is already assumed, then we interpret the world in a way that matches up to his existence. Eventually though, I started to analyze things in way where I took neutral ground, then examined the evidence to see where it pointed. Never once did it point to god, because it only worked when I interpreted it to match up with god. In which case, I could make up any crazy story and interpret EVERYTHING to match up with my imaginary explanation.

EDIT:

this is awsome. Good point. Now heres where you are allowed to decide. Ither A: you decide it came from nothing and your god of your exsistance.
Or B: you except design and Not knowing everything and just humbol your self and except the Driection given to you.

Thing is A will lead no where. B will get the benfit of that vast knoladge and direction and purpose.

A means nothing matters. But B means there more to it. and a chance to live forever following this Awsome Creator. Doing things the right way and most benifical, and haveing a better life.

All God wants is people to draw close to him and aply his teachings and listion to his wise ways. This will lead to a everlasting life of happyness.
This sounds more like you're believing because it's the nicer idea, not the more logical one.
