I was personally told by someone that they "couldn't imagine" the complexity of the wonders of the Universe without it being 'designed' by some intelligent force.

I replied, "I can!"   

Whether you can or cannot is merely how you look at things. I do not require a simple 'cause' to explain *everything*. I see how complex it is... and I see the science beginning to work out the necessary processes. First Cause? *shrug*... it doesn't worry me that we may never be able to definitively state how it all began. Those who cannot bear not knowing just *name* that elusive cause "God"... sure saves a lot of studying.,,, and if lots & lots of theologians have not only done it before, and attached crumbling manuscripts as 'evidence', why that makes it easy. You just chant 'ditto' and sign the book. That 'thinking' stuff is way too time consuming....
