I hear this argument all the time. Atheists claim that we believe in a Creator simply because we can't explain why we're here. Nothing could be further from the t***h. The t***h is that something that exhibits a certain level of complexity and organization is indicative of intelligent design.
If you were stranded on a desert Island, how would you call for help? Would you use rocks, on the beach, to spell S.O.S, or would you just make a pile of rocks? The first one is the result of intelligent design. The later can be seen as the result of natural processes. Which one will get the rescuers attention?
There is something inside every living cell that is so complex we barely understand how it works. These are known as gene regulatory networks. Some scientists have compared them to neural networks. They can be mapped and understood, on a simplistic level as Boolean operations, yet that doesn't give us the entire picture. In fact, there is an organization that offers a reward for whoever can come up with a better way to explain how they work.
I'm going to post a few pictures. They are visual representations of GRN's. Each cell in our bodies actually has a larger network of GRN's. Call it a meta GRN. These Networks communicate with each other, as well as responding to outside influences. These GRN's actually work just like a computer. Yet they are much more complex than our most advanced computers.
There is also the fact that if just one of the thousands of components in these networks was missing, the cell would die. In order for these networks to exist in the first place, all the parts would have to be in place and functioning at the same time. Something evolution is not capable of doing. The fact that one missing element can destroy the entire cell argues that a simpler version does not exist.
I could go on, but I'll just post those pictures I mentioned. Take a look at them, then try to tell me that unguided natural processes created these.

The universe is infinitely large, and therefore infinitely small. WOW what a GREAT complex place. ONLY an intelligent design could have a chance at explaining all this.
Me, I'll put my faith in my God. Who that God is, is between me and my God.
Suffice it to say, Yes, I believe.
Until the Unbelievers can explain that which I have seen first hand in this world, they got no case.
