The effects of mass on spacetime have, we call the phenomenon Gravity however we have absolutely no direct evidence for it's existence, or how that relationship with matter works. It requires dare i say it "belief" in the most convincing current Theory, of which there are many.

I can measure the effect of intelligent design. DNA being a perfect example. Similarly to Gravity i need to believe in the cause, rather than directly measure.
If i see a complex chain of natural language which encodes information to create a conscious being, it makes logical sense to me that this code was the result of design. Have you ever seen matter randomly combine in such a way that it creates complex structure without interference from intelligence?
Again as an example, if i see a sand castle on the beach, i assume someone built it. If i wait for the wind to blow just the right way in order to make a complex castle structure i'll need more than a few billion years. Never-mind the complexity and structure we see in organic life.

Sounds like a lot of speculation and belief.
Perfectly ordered systems in my experience do not happen randomly.
There's a reason there's a cross-over in vernacular between computer programming and biological systems. Both use coded language and similar functions.

Over 60% of the world still considers themselves religious. Atheism is actually in decline contrary to your claims.
Personally, i consider myself agnostic but lean toward creation.
