If you don't believe in God, who builds the sea, lakes, ocean? who builds the foundations of the earth? the heavens as well as the galaxies and the universe itself? and how come you believe that Bill gates created the microsoft?

I think, it is choice. Either you belive in God or not!. Personal experiences rather than genuine logical thinking influence a person in this matter.
To refer to one of the written answers.
Biology does not adequately define origin and existence of life. Scientists are still searching in other planets to get a clue about it. Checkout some latest scientific magazines.
How did life began in the first cell that came to life? May be I should ask that here! Also biology it does not define death as well. How does death invade this first cell that might have started dividing to become complex organisms!!!??? What is death? Why can't we revert it back!!??
Similar things can be said about all scientific theories. They were never absolute till now. Scientific theories evolved and will still evolve. So every science explains phenomenon based on what is already known or understood. Science is still searching in the unknown space to know more. Till then no one can say it has explained adequately.
Only absolute theories can explain existence or non-existence of God.
Just as a man who got scared of thuder and said it is God, another curious man experimented and understood how thunder occured thru his experiments, said there is no God!, both making the similar absolute conclusion from a small local event.
So it becomes a matter of choice than logical thinking. Many great philosopers were agnostic. They say they do not know.
My answer is that it is personal experiences and the innermost desires of each humans that drives her/him to believe in existence of God or the non-existence of God.

Nobody "builds" the sea, lakes or oceans. It's water that's happened to collect there. You don't need a God to explain those bodies of water any more than you need a God to explain the mud puddle outside the door. And just because we can't "make" leaves, that doesn't mean that leaves must have been made by somebody else. It actually suggests that they weren't made at all, but were formed by natural processes like evolution. As for your last question, I believe that on faith alone.

Thing is you're wrong and atheists are wrong. Atheists don't believe in God because they are too world-bounded so they demand physical hardcore proof that God exists.
While you're wrong because God didn't create the seas and lake like "EXISTS! PASIFIC OCEAN!" and poof it's there, no no. God made it the way science explains how it happened, that's the way He made it. God obeys the rules of His own game, that is why. Bill Gates created Microsoft.
In a nutshell, let's just say fruits are originated from trees, He planted the tree.
P/s: I said this in theology, not literally.

I am an atheist because I don't believe in deities and the word atheist describes this state of disbelief. I don't believe in deities because no argument or evidence presented to me in support of their existence has been convincing.
1. Biology adequately describes life and emotions without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
2. Astronomy adequately describes the formation of stars/planets/universe/etc without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
3. Geology adequately describes the evolution of the Earth, land formations, etc without appealing to mystical invisible dieties
4. Psychology describes the human psyche better than appealing to mystical invisible dieties
5. Appealing to mystical invisible dieties is an appeal to ignorance
6. There's no physical evidence for the existence of mystical invisible dieties
7. A myriad of mystical invisible dieties have been posited by emphatically superstitious societies and have been proven to be products of overly active imaginations (today's religion is tomorrow's myth) and ignorance.
8. Believing in mystical invisible dieties seems to become quite absurd when those who posit the mystical invisible dieties begin explaining why and how they exist in the face of contradictory physical evidence.
9. As scientific knowledge increases, the role of the mystical invisible dieties oddly gets pushed further and further back.
10. Mystical invisible dieties are mystical invisible dieties (ie can never be found by empirical methods) That should be enough to get you started.
In the movie “The Gods Must Be Crazy,” a native in the Kalahari Desert encounters technology for the first time--in the shape of a Coke bottle. I found this to be very amusing, but I also began to see parallels between his thought process, and that of the modern day Theist. Both are using CAVEMAN LOGIC to explain their world. I fail to see the difference between “hmm, bottle fall from sky, must be gods” and “hmm, seas, lakes, oceans, trees and butterflies prove the existence of god.”
In both of these cases, someone is simply replacing one unknown for another unknown, but proving nothing!
Not only can God not be proven, but I will also go so far as to say that God can be disproved. It is impossible for something to be all knowing and all good. If you are aware that something bad is going to happen, and you allow it to happen anyway, then you cannot be all good. If God created everything, then he also created evil. It is also impossible to be all-powerful; can God create a rock that even he himself cannot move?

who says we can't make leaves or a tree. In theory it is possible. the rub is legal and a few scientific loose ends. I personally can not see god in the creation of the universe. I can see however quarks barions mesons electrons atoms chemistry biology the whole amazing story of creation random ,unpredictable, statistical, quantum.evolutionary and mortal. A by far more fascinating and extraordinary story than zap let there be light. After all to push your argument a bit, god goofed when he made us in his image now we are god.

Your question is faulty. It presupposes a need for a builder when no such need is present.
