So you belive in everything coming from absolutely nothing... That everything that we know just happened by chance of luck. That the intricate system of chemistry was just there always, and that for some reason, everything that is organic along with their complicated systems were all a fluke...
Why is that so much more believable than that everything had a designer? A creator? A god?

Wow, good response... I just thought it is a very interesting topic and I would like to point out that I believe in both. I should also state that I have read a book where science proves there is a god... It is based on scientific terms not philosophical ones.
I will provide you all with the recitation for this book(I am sure there are others) when I get back home.

The book is called:
The Road to Reality - A Complete Guide to the laws of the universe.
by Roger Penrose
1st ed.,Alfred A. Knopf - New York 2005
It is a 1000 pages but a very interesting read.

Because with Science there is evidence, there are test that can be done to prove certain points, we can see things evolving, growing. To believe in God is to go one step further and believe in something you can't see, feel or touch. It takes faith, science doesn't. Science you have things you can reach out feel, see, taste and smell, you don't have to have blind faith.

Who told you everything came from nothing- I've always asserted that the material was always there- laws and all.
1. What would be complex enough to create all of this?
2. What would be complex enough to create the creator- and so on.
3. Why would humans have all the answers to the universe, and what makes you think that we would keep trying to find answers if we already had them?
4. Strawman arguments are lame- you should try backing your claims up with evidence. Why didn't you read up on this stuff before claiming that we would assume something came from nothing- were you just parroting someone else's idea?
No matter. Going by the tone of this question, I probably should have just answered with a fart joke, but I'm not feeling very funny this morning.

Science is based on numerous observations and consideration, facts and other important factors before arriving at the final conclusion. Thus people feel it's more trustworthy as they believe: all around the world things are the same. There's a logical explanation, for everything and that makes us feel safe because we know there's something to fall back on, the explanation that makes sense. We see it happening with our eyes and we believe what we see.
Now, gods as we know, may have been made up over the past few millions of years, in very primitive conditions... when the people probably had no answer for a question. They pushed it all to the "god" and accepted it. There was no room for question at all. Now explanation or logical reasoning that may account for the fact. There was some sense though and it was that the "god" was probably powerful.
It seems that people believe more in what they see and is proven all around the globe, rather than religion.
[The author believes in Jesus, because he created the world. Imagine, how could everything fall nicely into place with chemistry? It's like taking a pack of alphabet cards and then scattering them, expecting them to be ordered from a to z in perfect order.]

Science is the search for truth and it's self-correcting when new evidence become available - This can apply to any scientific field.
Religions like Christianity, are based on specific doctrine(s) which are established as being fact, despite the lack of evidence to support it.
Many Religions are not a search for truth and are not self-correcting, as they will never accept anything that contradicts them.
The creation of the Universe in the physical sense, is best left to science.
The idea of an immortal soul is best left to religion.

Because science deciphers it all for what it is and bases it's theories on evidence...Creation is just an easy way to explain a complicated thing. You leave the door open for error and correction with science, but the door is closed and sealed shut with religion, until someone goes to the clouds and sees that they are nothing more than a collection of billions of tiny water dropplets, not some spiritual playground. Unfortunately any one that claims that risks persecution by the believers of the cloud castles where all their relatives go if they ask Mr. Jesus for forgiveness and wears his Holy Death symbol.

To be honest I could believe just about anything before I believed that there was some bright shining light, sitting on a throne, on streets of gold, surrounded by little flying angels somewhere up in the sky. Science usually gives a somewhat logical explanation for why things are what they are and how they became that way.

Believing in god requires faith, and faith is the intentional suspension of dis-belief. Science is easy because it makes sense. You dont have to constantly question your beliefs and ideas. Religious people have to try and reconcile the fact that Noah was 600 when he built the arc with the fact that if you told a christian that you knew a 600 year old guy, they would insist that it was impossible. Religion is full of contradictions and impossibilities that you are just supposed to accept without question. That can be pretty confusing after a while, not to mention impossible to do honestly.

the key word in your question is "easier"...yes people who would rather believe that science has all the answers seem to have limited knowledge of how the world really got started. As, far as I am concered the entire world is full of evidence that there is a God a creator.

No, something coming from nothing is a christian assumption. That a "creator" would exist could be a reasonable hypothesis if it had evidence or indications for it. As there is none, it is considered untrue.
As for chance and luck, given an infinite amount of time, chance and luck are infinitely possible - not to mention that if there are an infinite amount of universes (Super String Theory) then there is still an infinite probability of "chance and luck".

Scientific proof is there! you can't deny the obvious, science is part of our lives, we learn it in school almost all through school. If you can't have faith in people and science then you can't be all that faithful about God, obviously if God exists he gave us the sense of science, and maybe that was intended for some bigger purpose, who knows! all I know is this is a ridiculous arguement, science is the only hard core evidence we have to prove our existence, when God shows his face, I will believe he exists, but I still have faith in science because I have faith in us as humans.
