    I ussualy find this kind of stuff hilarious. This time was no different.

    Enter "Does God Exist - Six Reasons to Believe" (Link for all of those interested: http://www.everystudent.com/features/isthere.html?gclid=CI_BgZvImZsCFRAMDQodxCnMoA) written by a self proclamed "ex-atheist" who has obviously been cured of the crippeling disability known as "rationality''-- no doubt by a little taste of God's delicious magic pixie dust.

    Since I have a certain threshold of tolerance for stupidity, I'm only going to comment on the subheadings for each point rather than the text underneath.

    1. Does God exist? The complexity of our planet points to a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today.

    Sure it does, buddy. It's too bad that we don't have any scientific models to explain how the earth formed on its own. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planetary_formation) OH SHIT. Well what about the fact that it's so perfect for life? Hint: The planet wasn't designed around us. We were designed around it. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Blind_Watchmaker)

    "a deliberate Designer who not only created our universe, but sustains it today".

    Oh, yeah. You mean by the giant life support system that the earth is plugged into from outer space.

    2. Does God exist? The universe had a start - what caused it?

    Obviously it was a magical being controlling all matter, time, and energy. The easiest answer is always the right one, right? It's just too bad we still can't convince those damned scientists of that fact.

    For whatever reason, I'm pretty sure that the magical creature looks like this:

    3. Does God exist? The universe operates by uniform laws of nature. Why does it?

    I'm going to guess that the standard scientific answer of "we're not sure yet" or "we're still working on the answer" isn't going to cut it for you, is it?

    Nope. You've obviously got the right answer which is, hilariously enough, the answer for all of your other questions: "God done it".

    4. Does God exist? The DNA code informs, programs a cell's behavior.

    The writer might as well have said: "I DON'T KNOW HOW DNA COULD'VE FORMED ON ITS OWN. THEREFORE, GOD DONE IT."

    Fortunately for the humans who don't explain things with unproven assumptions, we actually do have proposed models for DNA evolution. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_DNA)

    5. Does God exist? We know God exists because he pursues us. He is constantly initiating and seeking for us to come to him.

    God is apparently a creepy stalker.

    I was wrong. He probably looks like this:

    6. Does God exist? Unlike any other revelation of God, Jesus Christ is the clearest, most specific picture of God revealing himself to us.
