It's easier to accept when you think about the steps in evolution as not being all that random. It's called evolution for a reason.

Going with the Texas Sharpshooter Fallacy again:
"Look outside. See that tree? The chances of it growing there on that spot, on this planet, circling this star in this galaxy among the billions of galaxies in the known universe are so incredibly small it seems to have meaning, but that meaning is only a figment of your imagination. You are drawing a bullseye around a cluster on a vast barn."
The mathemetical chances of that happening are soooo small, it's almost incomprehensible.
There were times that people couldn't accept that the world was not flat, that the sun didn't orbit around our planet, and that the earth was billions of years old. Yet, we live and we learn.

I can accept our planet is like a billion in one shot, but still just space itself is amazing and way too clever. Some greater being must have created it.

What does the universe seem "clever" in comparison to? I agree with Uli's analogy. The fact that the universe can sustain life doesn't mean it was CREATED for that purpose.

Another analogy I heard once was about water filling up a hole after a heavy rain. It would be silly to say "that hole was formed perfectly to fit that water." It was the water that adapted to the hole's pre-existent shape

Everything in the universe is just a chemical reaction. One gigantic chemical reaction which is ongoing, and we happen to be caught in the middle of it.

What started that chemical reaction is quite impossible to understand and comeprehend, as if we cannot contemplate the size of the universe, how will we ever understand our place within it.

I'm not really too religious anymore. Ever since discovering some INTERNET I sort of started to stop BELIEVIN. But it's more that I don't really CARE if there is a higher power. It's not honestly going to change my life significantly in any way. I'm just going to live and try to cause as little HARM as possible.

But if you believe in a creator at all, that's pretty much not atheistic!
