You have as much proof of God creating the universe as I do of the 3rd grader. You have nothing to say that God's knowledge is infinite or even that he is even aware of us, much less that he watches over us. As you said he could have created us with a simple thought which could have been a piece of bad meat that he had for dinner.
All the things that you have used as an example of complex are not self sustaining or self replicating which organic life is which doesn't need the outside force to create. All it needs is energy and elements (simply put), after all that is all we are is about $10 worth of chemicals and water. Then again I guess you think that the primordial soup was a complex thing. 😉
First (and with all due respect) I really don't care what Einstein believed. I believe all lot things but what does my belief have to do with the price of tea in China? It does not matter what you believe but what you can substantiate with logic, reason, and strong support, which is why I believe that God is.
Second, you are wrong that I don't have proof that God created everything. I can see proof of God's creative ability all around me, regardless of whether the Bible tells me that God created the Heavens and the earth or not. It does not take a phd in biology or astrophysics to understand that there is way to much evidence for design and order in the universe, so much so that many things can be mathematically determined with utmost precision based on natural laws, probability, and other statistics. I have no assumptions, I base my belief on clear, overwhelming evidence for the Creator. God's knowledge, infinite wisdom, intelligence, and understanding is conspicuously evident in the things that exist. Everything in this universe appears to function with purpose, design, and according to predictable, empirically testable laws. If your loved one created a building with Lego blocks would you conclude that random, chance process caused by an explosion produced that structure? Only a fool would reason that something like that came about on its own. That mode of thinking is highly contradictory and shamefully illogical. Yet this is how many people think with regard to the origin of the universe and life (which is exceedingly more complex).
I don't recall saying that God could have created anything with a single thought. If I did say those exact words then I will eat crow. Until such time please, don't put words in my mouth. Thank you. 😄
All the examples that I provided are not self-sustaining and self-replicating? This is precisely my point (follow closely ThePittman): if those non, self-sustaining, non, self-replicating examples at the very minimum required a designer, what makes you believe that the universe and life which are exceedingly more complicated just came about randomly, without a Designer? Your logic is faulty, flawed, erroneous, and fallacious.
Oh, protobionts are not living organisms, they simply exhibit life properties. But that is not life. Besides, producing something in a controlled environment under predertermined circumstnaces with the aid of highly educated scientists does not remotely mimic or simulate the early earth condionts (sorry, but these are the facts).
So, in conclusion, life (all life) required an intelligent Creator (I just supported this in the paragraph directly above this one with regard to protobionts requiring the help of intelligent scientists).
