Trying to have an intelligent and productive debate with an atheist is fairly impossible. The simple process of even admitting that the alternate theory is possible, is beyond their ability. The vehemence of their denial of even the remote possibility of intelligent design suggests pervasive indoctrination. The awareness of the overwhelming complexity of life and the diversity of it is fairly evident that random chance had nothing to do with the existence of life. Even with the ideal conditions and all the building blocks present, life has yet to spontaneously develop. There is something missing. The spark of life, the soul, the spirit of God, whatever you want to call it, we cannot quantify it. It is not within our power to create life. The spark of energy released when a sperm enters an ova is even visible, but the mechanism is unknown.
