Nope, can't think of a reason.
I can give you some advice though, decide for yourself by keeping an open mind and questioning things. Don't let people brainwash you and don't just accept everything people tell you.
The laws of Thermodynamics say nothing of a "creator", that just shows how misunderstood you are. Please don't be warping the laws of Physics to try to justify your religious beliefs.

Because without a diety, a force, or a prior reason to creation, all we are and all we know are nothing but a meaningless, pointless, random event that was completely devoud of prior intent. Know what that makes life? An accident. Meaning can only come from reason, and without a prior consiousness before all that is, there can be no meaning.
Sure, you can argue that man creates his own meaning, but what does that mean? That means the meaningless is creating meaning, and that is invalid. Your thought, logic, and reason are nothing more than the result of a compound accident as it was exposed to time and other results of the same accident.
Dominos falling have more reason than life in this sequence - you can trace both as a sequences of causes and events. Domino 1 falls, hits domino 2 causing it to fall and hit domino 3. Organism 1 is exposed to these conditions, evolves into organism 2, organism 2 outsurvives organism 1 to evolve into organism 3. However, someone clearly set up the dominos to watch them fall for the sake of entertainment. There was no thought whatsoever behind the organisms, and thus, life is child of senselessness.
That is, of course, so long as there is no God.

The very fact we are here shows there is a creater. Study the laws of thermodynamics for starters. Visit this site for free videos for download or watch online:

for scientific evidence no scientist can refute, apparently. If you can refute the arguments, e-mail me.
Look around you, all this is accidental chance?
Look at the evidence.
Also, like someone else said before, just ask God in sincerity and truth to show you if he is real. That's kinda' what I did. And I believe.
Also, when someone tells you to 'keep' an open mind, what they are saying is don't ever believe the truth.

No one can convince you, especially if you demand convincing. It's all on your own freewill. If you are truly open to knowing The Truth, then you will seek and find that Christ died for your sins and in believing and confessing thus, you will be saved. Otherwise, there is no way anyone can convince you if your heart is closed to The Truth. Those who demand a sign are those with little faith.
Bless you for believing in the Lord without seeing Him; that is faith.
It's your choice to accept The Truth because He gave us all freewill. If you refuse it, that's between you and the Lord when you die. I pray you will before your death or you will be sad. And I'd really like to see you in Heaven, along with everyone else in this world.

Yes I know I can. If you beleive in God, you'll have some one to tell all your fears or put faith to. If you just tell them to human's how do you know they wont use it on you? If you beleive in God, you wont ever give up trying on what you want, because you have faith that he'll help you. If some one died, and you love that person very much, you if God willing, wont go nuts or loose yourself because you know it was He who wanted it and He wants only the best.
They seem so petty and little in our daily lives but there important if we want to go further. Dont just beleive in a god, there are too many false ones... beleive in The God... He is never false....

If you trust in the God of the Bible, and you end up being wrong - you die and end up like everyone else. If you trust in the God of the Bible, and you end up being right, you recieve eternal LIFE with HIM in heaven...no more tears...no more sorrow. Eternity is an awfully long time to enjoy the good life God intended for us when we get to heaven. I'm looking forward to shaking your hand when we get there. God be with you, friend.

Probably none that you would deem good enough. You have free will to choose, we can't convince you or force you to believe. You have to want to believe, we shouldn't be giving you reasons. The best reason I can give you to be a theist is that most atheists act like they have a pool stick stuck up their ***.

Naturally my choice for you would be the God of the Bible. Just try Jesus for yourself! I mean me trying to explain why you should believe in God is like me trying to tell you how it feels to be AT the Superbowl...i can't tell you you just have to go on your own, and experience the energy ,and excitement for yourself... you know. I can tell you my life is much calmer,peaceful and more beautiful thru Christ Jesus
