>Hmmm, so where did the simpler life form come from? Where did the Earth come from? Why is it positioned so strategically in relationship to the sun so that we don't either burn up or freeze to death? Why does it rotate such that it does, etc. etc. etc.? Believing their is no God, in my humble opinion, takes much more faith to believe all this just occurred than to believe a higher power created it.

Yes, it is harder to accept. IMO, the divine intervention type of explanation always sounded too much like a (pardon the pun) deus-ex-machina easy way out.

> If you walk in a room and see a child sitting in the floor with a glass of milk spilled in front of them, isn't it reasonable to believe they knocked it over? Particularly, if there aren't any other people or animals around.

Wrong comparison - in case of the Universe you assume you're seeing an entity which willed things into happening. I rather see it as "we don't see anyone around, so isn't it reasonable to believe that it had an internal cause"?
