What is the value of this argument?
How does it prove a god?
Please I am not seeing the point of this exercise. I look around and see a natural world. Am I looking wrong?

It proves nothing at all. No. You're not wrong.

Apparently. Look around you. How can you possibly believe this is an accident? Look at a cell, it's a factory man! Your body has millions and millions of parts that all do a specific function necessary to survival. That's much more complicated than a car, yet if you ran across one in the woods you'd have no doubt it wasn't a plant.
If we evolved, how did we get from a multi-celled glob of goo to a more complicated organism where the cells all worked together? You need a circulatory system for that, I guess that evolved too...but wait, for that to work you need a heart or something to move the blood (which also had to evolve of course) around...but wait, you also need a bowel system and kidneys or something similar to clean the blood and you also need a waste system to get rid of the waste...but wait, you also need a stomach or something to break down the food you ingest so the blood cells can transport it to the other cells. Hmmm....
But wait, how did it multiply? You can't have the cells dividing anymore because you now have internal cells, so you need sexual reproduction...but wait, how did these develop? Why do the male and female organ fit together so very, very well? How did the sperm and egg develop AT THE SAME TIME so that they both must come together to create a new life? How did breasts develop to feed the young? What about a uterus? Now THAT'S a complicated organ!
Keep in mind that all of the above and much, much more ABSOLUTELY had to develop in the same generation or there could be no life as we know it today. It takes more faith to believe in evolution than it does in Christianity.

Look all you want, you will not find God as revealed in the bible.
God existed before he created everything that you can observe. This means God existed in the unobservable as well as in the observable he created. If you look around, you will not see the unobservable.
There is a revelation you believe it or you don't. God is explicit about how man finds God. It is written in his word.
We have two belief systems: Science and revelation. Applying the scientific method to revelation simply will not work since there are no facts (observations) in revelation. Applying belief to science simply doesn't work as well. Science deals with theories that explain facts.
Is there a proof for God. No. Not in science and not in revelation. God is not proved but assumed.
Answer: God reveals, man observes. You look around at a natural world. A world that was created by God because God told us.

When I look around, I find God. It's a little known fact that God is my laptop and a refrigerator.
Seriously, I agree with you. When I look around, I see the Earth, biology, plants, animals, condominiums, expressways, and coffee shops. I don't get it, either. It doesn't prove anything, except that humans are slacking because they haven't paved over the glorious rainforests and built mini malls and condos. Eh, I'm sure they will eventually. :(
I miss trees. They were cool. Remember those?

There is no value in this suggestion. There is no proof of anything - just by looking around.
All that one sees are either the result of a major catastrophe which gradually metamorphorsised into our current world or the imprint of mankind on that environment. To suggest otherwise is infantile at best.

You won't see God physically, but you seriously feel his peace within you. You will need to have faith in him so you can have him in his heart. About the physical world, I think that God created everything. For example, the life all human beings, the explendor of the trees, the greatness of the ocean, the cold smell of the mountains, and ect. In other words, the complexity of everything and its greatness talks about how God is such a great architect.

Read Romans 1 in Scripture. It explains this argument.
Basically, you can't look around at the wonder of creation and not ask where it came from and how. Obviously, there is order and purpose and design behind it. There is no randomness.

Just you being here is evidence that something put you here. Things don't just happen. There is always a reason.WIthout a action taking place there can be no result. So without an outer force working how can you possibly believe that a result just took place.

Sadly you will not because your mind and heart are not open to it. When you open your mind and heart to it it will be a beautiful thing.
