        Our biosphere contains trillions of different biochemical mechanisms of the most unimaginable complexity. More and more cellular biologists and biochemists and such are coming to the conclusion that their development within the apparent lifetime of the universe is incalculably unlikely. If just one of these machines within just one cell could not have formed without the assistance of an intelligent and purposeful agency, it's pretty much game over for the atheists.

It is also possible that the big bang has cycled so many trillions and trillions of times (or maybe even more times than we could fathom), that even if what you say turns out to be true, there could still have been many occurrances throughout all those cycles.  All such a conclusion would prove is that it would be unlikely that we would co-exist with other complex life forms in the present universe.  It in no way proves the existance of God, much less a single God.

In fact, maybe its complexity is support for the idea that there would have to be more than one God... that it would require a team effort. :)
