There is a reason that people have continually looked for something greater than themselves. To put it simply, there is something greater.

From the smallest organism to the heavenly bodies, everything has been designed to work perfectly within their prescribed place. And you want educated people to accept that this was all just some big cosmic accident? That would take a whole lot of faith.
