Matter and/or energy has always existed (in some form or another), and occasionally give rise to more complex things.
The Universe exists. The Universe has always existed in some form.
There is much waste and disorder in the Universe. Why would God carefully design hundreds of billions of galaxies if he only needed one? (We didn’t even know until recently that these other galaxies existed!) Why design entire galaxies, and then crash them into one another? Why make space so deadly for humans? Or place objects so far away that there is no hope of our ever reaching them? Why pelt random moons and planets with space-debris? Is there a reason for this kind of design? Is it intelligent? Or is it random? Nature’s behavior is wasteful, unguided, indifferent, and lacks the thoughtfulness one would expect from an intelligent designer.

So that Jedi mind trick wont work with me
So you're saying you are astral projecting and such for no apparent reason???
Are you wandering around in our material realm or some spiritual realm...
What do you think happened that 11th year???
All I did was point out the similarity between that verse and your argument "If you don't love god, you hate him".
If you are referring to a reason as in a message being delivered or something, again mostly because I have not had any great wisdom relayed to me despite the many times it has happened.
Mostly our material realm. I've been in many lucid dreams and this is where I ask myself if these are what others mean by being in a spirit realm. To me they are just fun little adventures.
I remembered how to do something most humans have forgotten how to do?

Well the one time I believe I was in the "Spirit Realm" I told you about with my brother... I think I either sat up out of my body or somehow, when he manifested in the room... somehow I was able to see into this realm or He entered into ours and somehow the two converged... IDK how to explain seeing thru walls otherwise.
So at 11 you just remembered how to do something you had never done before.... Did this happen before or after the "Angel of God" appeared to you?

True, but religion has an even less plausible theory and some people go around trying to fool people into believing otherwise all the time.

i sort of believed in god, religion, the whole deal, for a time when i was a boy. my (catholic,grammar, boys only) school made sure of that. as i grew older and saw how the world really was, those beliefs faded. now they are practically invisible.

I've seen attempts to frame biological systems with entropic statistical physics however i'm unconvinced, life and it's evolution appear anything but disordered.

Intelligent design supposes that intelligent organisms came from something Intelligent. This makes much more sense than unintelligence creating intelligence.
