Spelling and grammar are very much important in communication especially in a text based medium. You are judged and ignored based solely on your ability to communicate.
Also, atheist is not capitilized unless it begins a sentence.

First of all, just an astronomical tidbit: the moon rises at all different times of day over the course of a month; only during a full moon does the moon rise at (approximately) the same time that the sun sets. A new moon rises (approximately) with the sun, a waxing quarter moon is already high in the sky when the sun sets, a waning quarter moon rises in the wee hours of the morning...so this hardly counts as evidence of a God.
I'm agnostic, so I don't rule out the possibility of a god. As, I believe, law states, absence of evidence (e.g. of God) is not evidence of absence. The problem with disbelieving in god is that all of this stuff in the world around us that we can explain scientifically (biology, astronomy, physics etc.) exists within the context of a universe that just bothered to exist. Why? Who knows. Maybe a god.
On the other hand...you'd think that, if there is a god out there, he might just drop in from time to time to let us know that he's there. You know, just for coffee or something, just a little chat. He might, if he's a benevolent god (although there's no reason to presume this, I suppose) explain exactly what is and what is not true in men's religions, so we wouldn't keep killing one another over imaginary crap. This sort of thing.
Not that he's obligated to do any of that...it would just make the whole idea of a god a little more believable.
Also, although you deny its importance, I would work on your spelling and also grammar. It's hard to take a question seriously (especially from an asker who is claiming that other people are stupid) if the asker can't seem to spell a four-letter word correctly, or get a grip on the concept of subject-verb agreement.

I'll just point out one fallacy with what you have stated. Perhaps you haven't noticed because your head is continuosly bowed in prayer, but it is entirely possible for the moon and sun to both be visible in the sky. Not exactly the perfect timing you claim.
No, it's not proof that a god exists. The reasons for any of the things you have listed does not have to be a god. Their existence does not inherently prove some mythological creation. No, you do not have a good point.
You see those things and are unwilling or unable to delve further into their nature, so you simply claim god. To paraphrase Dawkins, when I see an illusionist perform a stage trick, I don't automatically say it's magic if I can't figure out how he did the trick.

Even if those issues are proof of intelligent design, how could you be sure that the Creator is your God.
There is many different creation stories, which with many different explanations. Some goes to describe what the sun is made from , while others just state that it was created just like that.
If the world was really perfect, then the Earth would have been able to cope with the burgeoning stress created by Man, since your All Knowing and Benevolent God woul dhave seen to it.
However, the ozone tear is widening, more people are dying of cancer. This shows that we have not reach our evolution end points, as we are still trying to cope with the everchanging landscape.
How about this for proof of evolution.
Cockroaches are very well known to be impossible to be eradicated entirely. The body can continue to function for 3 days, before expiriring due to starvation. Isn't it a coincidence that cockroaches have been around longer than us, and they have much more time to evolve and change.
Even sharks, which have been around for longer periods than us, have a brain that is resistant to deterioation. Unlike us humans, who are supposedly the chosen and beloved of God, are still prone to Alzheimer's or Parkinson diseases

The weather, childbirth, the stars, planets, our existence, our bodies' success and failure at healing itself, plants growing from seeds, our emotions are not evidence for the existence of any deity.
Futhermore, sunsets and moonrises do not correspond. Often, you will see the moon while the sun is still up.
Insulting atheists by calling them stupid does not support the existence of any god.
I am an atheist, and I have plenty of clues that there is no evidence to support the existence of any god. Therefore I do not believe in any god. It is really as simple as that.
Why is my atheism such a problem for you?

wow, are you for real? Considering that you just assume it HAS to be a god, but there is NO Scientific evidence to support the existence of your God. And calling us Stupid just makes you even more stupider.
The fact the Body heals itself is because cells FIGHTS bacteria!
And as for the birth, well it's part of mother nature. It isn't proof it's god.
stars and planets, no one can really be sure how it's there. But if you want to believe it is God, fine, but don't call us stupid.
plants grows because of the earth itself and our feelings are formed from our mind and our heart. It is or it is not a God, but calling us stupid isn't going to make your points across. Try taking science, psychics, biology, geography, and history before you start blabbering about how "Unintelligent" we are.

There are predictable patterns to weather. It is a science that is well understood. If you don't believe me, turn on the Weather Chanel.
While the birth of my children was very important to me, all life forms reproduce. Further, we understand how and why it happens. It isn't a true miracle.
We know what the stars and planets are. We know the rules that govern their movements. No miracle there.
The human immune systems is fascinating, but since is often fails us, it is not miraculous.
There are many wonders in science. I love to study all the processes and understand them clearly. They become so much more meaningful when you know what is going on. Attributing them to a "god" doesn't make the more meaningful, it makes them LESS meaningful.

The problem of what caused God to create the Universe pretty much means that there were other things going on before God created the universe and this is a contradiction! So, it cannot be true that God created the Universe. It is also true that God cannot have created Time - in order for time to be created it must be finite, which of course it can't be, because the creation of time must have occurred before time, which is not possible.

WHOA!
So I'm stupid based on the fact that I don't believe in God? News flash buddy, I have a masters degree in both mechanical engineering and Spanish Literature.
All those reasons you gave can also be explained by science.
We will probably never know if it is either the "big bang" or a higher power.
I thought that only hardcore atheists can be arrogant, militant, close-minded a@#holes. I guess you proved me wrong there.

Those are things you and believers fail to see. Everything does not require a creator. There are no miracles, there is random chance and chaos. In that chaos is harmony and understand. When you accept the fact that the universe is indeed meaningless, you will understand what a gift it is to be alive and conscious and able to ponder our own origins.

I'm not atheist i'm christian and i'll probably get a couple thumbs down just for saying that! So protective of themselves. Of course god exists and for the ones that don't believe they will get their just desserts when the inevidable happens. Peace bro and god bless.
