BTW, the follow are counted as BAD reasons;
Answering a question with a question
Any argument based on a "holy book"
Poking holes in established science
"Just look around..."

So the answer is "NO"
There is no good reason to believe in supernatural creation. That's what I'm getting.
Are you not trying hard enough? Or do ya'll have nothing to say?

If you don't believe in God, I suppose you have your own definition of good. However if there is a God, He will hold you to His definition.

Einstein said that the more he studied science, the more he believed that God existed.
The world is incredibly complex, far, far, far more complex and huge than our minds can comprehend and the evidence is all around you - in the trees, in the sand, in the ocean, in our very own blood.
And in my mind and in my heart, religion and science are one. Science is the study of the natural world and as far as I'm concerned - God is part of "Science". After all, he did create the natural world - we study it.
While on the subject of creation, lets just say that we were created via evolution. Wouldn't that still count as being created by God since God is part of the natural world?
But all in all, the choice is up to you. Me trying to explain religion to you is the same as me trying to explain Star Wars to you when you've never seen the movie. As I'm telling you about Star Wars, your mind imagines something different than what Star Wars is - you wont know what Star Wars is like until you go watch it.
All I'm saying is if you do decide to give religion a chance - you can't go into it expecting anything. You have to go into it with a clear and open mind. Otherwise, you'll never understand Star Wars.

Fun to share your view at parties, otherwise it's not really worthwhile unless you're an evangelist and a sociopath, that way you could casually gobble up donations from the faithful to fund your nice new Mercedes SLK convertible.

No one needs to give you any reason, If you see no reason to believe in a supernatural creator than you have no reason to believe in a supernatural creator.

Study the complexity of Creation, from Black Holes to Atoms.
Comprehend how life-forms evolve into sentient beings.
Appreciate how magnificently everything works & fits.
Then explain to us how this is all just an accident.

Nope. That's one you have to find for yourself. My irrational explanation will not satisfy a rational mind. But so it is with people who "know" - they cannot, with reason, expect anybody to believe it without the Holy Spirit causing you to recognize the truth in your own heart. Being rational is wonderful, but so is being open hearted, open minded, and ready for the truth when you see/hear/taste/ or feel it.

Death. Better to take the gamble on there being a GOD and an afterlife in heaven or hades, than to not and ending up burning...

Because it makes your life richer and a better place to live in.
But you have to ask yourself whether or not that is true for you.
I know you said that you dont want your question answered with a question, but I honestly don't think another person can answer that for another.
