it is just as unrealistic that everything spontaneously came together so perfectly. In Pascal's The Wager it is argued that even if you do not believe in God of your own accord you would do well to learn how. If you believe in God and you live you life like that and when you die you are wrong, there is no God there is nothing- you do not actually lose anything because that is the end- there is no embaressment afterward. If you live your life under God and you die and find that you were right, that there is a God, you are rewarded with eternal life. If you do not believe in God, you believe there is nothing and you live your life like that and when you die you find that you are correct- there is still nothing, there is no reward for being correct like that, there is no more. If you live your life believing that there is no God and when you die you find that you are wrong you have made the greatest of all errors and will eternally be regretting that decision.
What the Wager says is that you have your life to bet either way you want, for God or against it. In betting your finite life for an infinate after-life you are in a win-win situation and you should do whatever you can to position yourself in that position. Pascal by this says that if you do not believe you should immitate the actions of those who do and in that way you may discover why it is they have faith.

If you can't or don't believe that God has created the earth, people, animals then how do you think that everything & everyone just got here?? Do you think that one day you woke up & bam there were people, animals, plants, etc. God created the heavens, earth, sky, clouds, people, etc, etc.

God did not originally create this. This has been created by us and our ancestors. We have decided to reject God and align ourselves with greed, selfishness, carelessness, dishonesty, lying and the rest of it - making hell for ourselves and others.

Hypocritically, we associate all earthly things to an intelligent creator but creation itself to a sequence of accidents that originated from nothing.

You are on the right track. Keep questioning and you will come to realize that you are already at your destination.
