Some people spill paint on a canvas, call it art and sell it for hundreds of thousands because it is sooo beautiful.

Your reasoning for the existence of God is used quite commonly, but it is a logical fallacy known as argument of complexity. Just because something is complex does not mean it must have been created. In addition, if there is a creator of the universe, there is no real evidence to support the idea that this creator must be the god of the holy bible. Considering the multiple historical innacuracies, physical impossibilities, and varying contradictions within the pages of the holy bible, it is safe to assume that this god does not exist or if he does, man has not recorded the information correctly.
I believe that the universe may have been created, but it makes little difference to me either way. If someone powerful enough to create the universe is alive today, this being should be perfectly able to make his/her/its presence known to me directly and without the assistance of other humans. Since no contact has been made, I am left to assume this god is nonexistent, dead, or simply prefers to not communicate with me. However it goes I don't really care. What is more important to me is what happens in my life -not what may or may not have happened thousands/millions/billions/trillions of years ago.

Because I live by logic and proveable testable fact. I think life is great but its just life. It would be a sad life if the only reason to exist is to please a god and prepare for your death. We are here to live, through evolution. Your example makes no sense at all. You're trying to argue against the big bang but you're not getting it. There wasn't just "an explosion" and humans are as we are now like you Christians try to say. An Atheist believes we became this way over a long period of time through multiple many many many small changes that accumulated.

There is no evidence that there is a god. It isn't rational or reasonable to believe in things without any evidence to back it up. You would be stuck with hundreds of thousands of gods and everything else that human imagination could come up with since they have the same evidence.
Not believing in god is the same as not believing in Odin, Zeus, Ra, Hera, Bacchus, The Great Spirit, Osiris, The Flying Spaghetti Monster and all the others. I would be no less surprised of evidence of Odin was found than I would be if evidence of your god was.

I'm not sure I understand your example...
But on task, I do not believe in god because
1. There is no proof of god
2. There is evidence disproving the bibles claims to be correct (and any other text based religion)
3. Philosophical arguements prove your version of god incorrect.
Arguements:
1. God is all powerful:
This provides several problems. If god is all powerful, why create us at all? Perfection denotes a lack of need, therefore, we would be irrelevent (god would not "want" us because want is denoting need)
2. God is all knowing:
Setting aside the facts in arguement one, why would a god create us if it could see the future? At our moment of creation (or whenever before) god could see our fate, therefore, we cannot choose it as it is fate and the essence of fate is a lack of option. Without freewill, how can a god justify punishment/reward if we have no free will? Would not an all knowning god create only those not requiring torture?
3. God is all good:
If god is all good, he would be unable to create evil, as he would have no basis for it. Even if he could create it, why would he want to inflict pain if he is all loving? And if he is all knowing as creationists state, why would he create those if he is to punish them? (he knows they will burn in "hell" but creates anyway) Is vengeance a form of good? The bible clearly indicates the vindictive nature of this god.
Also, there is still the matter of who designed god? If your claim is that we are too complex to have occured naturally, how can you claim that a creature as complex as "god" can exist? Seems to lack reasoning to say god was always there but the universe couldn't have always existed.

i would say that you are a stupid mother ******. ok lets begin...
Before our time there was noting but gases. and everybody knows that when u compress certain gasses ther will be a catostrophic explosin. after the 'BIG BANG' the particles and atoms formed together over millions of years and created all matter and eventually hydrogen and oxygen combined and created water. and after years of stagnation tiny archaebacteria formed. then after millions years they evolved into a new species then so on... finnaly humans walked the planet. the reason why i dont believe in god is that there are no facts related to the bible at all. the bible is just a story book. the purpose of life is to feed and reproduce.
AND HERE IS A QUESTION FOR U. HOW DID YOUR GOD COME TO EXIST... you have no answer to the question of your creation belief but i do so TELL ME WHY YOU BELIEVE IN GOD. AND WHAT IS UR PERCEPTION OF LIFE. AND Y ARE WE HER IN UR EYES????????????????????????????????

I would point you to the evidence that proves that the Eiffel Tower did not just appear, but was actually built by human hands.
This is a pathetic comparison.

Huh? I don't believe because there's a severe lack of physical evidence. Actually there's zero physical evidence. The Eiffel Tower was built by human hands in 1887. And I'm here because my parents had sex one night.

why don't i believe in god? b/c there is no proof and never has been, and there is loads of science that leads to an absolute disproof (notice i didn't say shows a disproof). just i can't disprove alot of things i can't disprove a deity.
why are we here? because we evolved here. elements have always been and will always be in our universe, and we evolved from that under the right conditions.
is there purpose? who knows? but if the building blocks of life have always been present, then there is a possibility that intelligent life evolves to understand the workings of life and its surroundings.
this leads to meaning, purpose and an atheistic idea of spirituality.

Why WOULD I believe in God? Why don't you believe in Zeus? Either is equally likely, as is any other God or the lack of any God. There is simply no evidence to substantiate a belief in a deity. My perception of life is that we are here: beyond that, life has the meaning we assign.
