Please, this has nothing to do with the Genesis account.
One small example: how did the brain get programmed for eyesight. To accept 2 images, combine them, to provide near instant assessment and response, millions of lines of unbelievably brilliant genetic code, how did that happen. We could put 1,000,000 genius's to work on this today for 10 years, and they would not be able to figure out how to do that today. Not only is there no randomness, there is unimaginably brilliant creation involved.
Thus, I cannot take a leap of faith and believe in natural creation. It makes no sense. A Creator makes sense, based on facts and reasoning.

The eye of a squid is clearer because of the design, the water protects it against UV so it can face directly out, for land critters the receptors face in for protection!!!! dont you luv the intelligence of the design!!!
I like "The eyes have it" by Menton on the subject of eyesight I also like "the seeing eye and the hearing ear by the the same
http"//www.answersingenesis.org
interestingly pn the subject of eyes, the Trilobite were supposedly were the earliest of critters had very advanced eyes... if there were no predetors around one would wonder why they needed such advanced eyes... a better explaination is some bottom dwellers were most likly to be burried in low layers durging the flood of Noah
than a naturalism looking at the same daa might realize
perhaps Darwinism will go extinct?

Actually, the human eye is not a very good example: if it was "designed", then its designer was fairly stoned. Take a look at the design of the human eye some time (receptors pointed inwards, light degradation, etc...); the eye of a squid is a much clearer argument for something that was "designed".
Natural creation takes no leap of faith: it takes an interest in acquiring knowledge. Religion takes a leap of faith.
And why do you think that 1,000,000 geniuses couldn't solve it? We went from Kitty Hawk to the moon in 60 or so years. To a serf in the Middle Ages, that would have been witchcraft.

I do think believers suspend rationality and reason. They have never seen talking animals, 900 year old men, zombies climbing out of their graves, people getting swallowed by whales and surviving for three days etc. Yet when an ancient goat herder they never met claims they did, they suspend any knowledge they have gained of the physical world to accept it unquestioningly. Perhaps you do not believe in all this superstitious nonsense. But still, How did your god come to be. Did he evolve? Where? Was he created? By whom. If you really used reason you would ask yourself these questions. Instead you just put your head in the ground and say "He Just Is" Ours is not to question why. If you were walking along and found a watch, you would not say it just is. But when faced with your supposedly infinitely more complex god you do. I personally think the idea of a creator of everything is nonsense and just leads to infinite regression. But then I do use reason and just don't hide my head in the ground for any questions that I might prefer would go away.

A standard Argument from Ignorance Fallacy. If you really want to know then you need to use the Scholarly sources.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?DB=pubmed
Go look it up there. For the future, do use such an obvious fallacy as an argument.
It makes you look foolish.
EDIT: Except for two things:
1. Eyes weren't needed for preditors only.
2. Flood geology is in basic denial of geological concepts. Its simply impossible for a worldwide flood to generate the geology we see today.

If you can not understand something, blame it on god.
It will give you comfort and a sense of security.

Random processes. If God made our eye, why would we get cataracts, and astigmatisms, and have eye problems? I don't see how this is an "intelligent" design.

So you believe in a creator, as in a god? Your typing confuses me, sorry.
