God as Creator

Here are some evidences for God.

A Calculator

Say you're walking along and you come across a calculator sitting on the ground. You pick it up and look at it in all of its complexity. Would you assume that someone designed and built it? Without a designer and builder the calculator wouldn't exist. Someone had to design the complex parts to work together.

Now look at the human body. How much more complex is it than a calculator? Consider the complexity of our eyes, our heart, our lungs and all of our other organs that work together. Would you assume that someone designed and built our human bodies?

A Ball

Say you have a ball on the floor in the center of the room you're in. If nothing touches the ball (besides the floor) then will the ball ever start moving? Without a gust of wind, someone kicking or pushing the ball or some pressure on the ball it will never move.

Now, consider the universe as the ball. The evidence we can see is that the universe is in motion, our moon is circling our planet, our planet is spinning and circling around the sun, and this pattern is going on as far out as we can see into the universe. If no outside force touched the ball, how could it ever have started moving?
