Huh?  Far from it.  The very 'order' in all of nature can be construed
as a wonderful design by someone/something greater than our ability to
understand.  But, that takes Faith.

In my opinion, it takes a whole lot less Faith to believe there is some
design to what we call life than it all happened by pure accident or
chance.
