Yepp. Here we are, real and true, but we have no evidence that God exists, real and true.We don't have a reason for what reason we're here and we don't have a reason
for why God does exist, but here we're, real and true.

Not necessarily. Maybe it's just natural that something always exists. Maybe it's natural that some god(s) always exist. But until I see any good evidence that gods exist I live my life as if they don't.God can't exist naturally because no escape from the notion that this thing should always be existing, to say naturally means something brought him to existence
What do you mean?How the properties of atoms and molecules are the reason for our existence?
Can you use their properties to create species?
Organisms evolved brains constantly looking for reasons because knowing the reasons for things increases our chances of survival. We are also looking for the reasons why the universe and we are here. But an unfortunate side effect of this quest is that some people have a pathological need for "knowing" the reasons so when we don't know the logical and rational reasons these people just invent gods as an explanation and their need for an explanation is satisfied until the real reasons are discovered. Since meteorology and seismology few believe in Thor or Poseidon for example nowadays. But since we still haven't found the ultimate explanations why the universe and us exists there's still room for belief in some god as an explanation.We don't have a reason for what reason we're here
Why stop there? Why not simply provide the machine with a blueprint and let it build the creature in question.No matter which 186-character phrase the machine came up with you could claim that there was only 8.56 x 10^347 chance that the machine could come up with that phrase right?
What if you gave the machine all the rules of grammar (like natural laws), told it to start with one random letter and continue to add random letters except those that would contradict the rules of grammar, how many sentences would you get and wouldn't your sentence be among them?
The numbers he chucks out are bull. What are his sources for any of these?@Zosimus
If you think chances are low for producing the sentence
"Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
take a look at the chances of you existing.

There's no evidence that you exist.Yepp. Here we are, real and true, but we have no evidence that God exists, real and true.

Lowering your standards of evidence to that low a level renders the word evidence worthless.We're the evidence.
What do you mean?

What does it do to your "argument" when the exact same can be said about evolution?Yes we're the evidence, but you may think it was due to the unconscious nature
or by the conscious God.

I mean, we are evidence of evolution.
Let us take it a step further...
We are evidence of abiogenesis.
Like i said, lowering the standard of evidence that low renders the word worthless.
you sad attempt at appeal to emotion does nothing for those outside the choir.If you think that you, as a human being with all your body functions were due to the inanimate unconscious
matters then no one will force you not to.
Stupid design would be more accurate. What's cancer in children for?Why stop there? Why not simply provide the machine with a blueprint and let it build the creature in question.
We could call it intelligent design.

What is the constant need for proof of a deity?
