Logic and reason is mainly why I believe there's a creator instead of all this complexity just magically appearing by chance.

Atheists will readily admit any complex artifact has to be man-made, but insist that infinitely more complex biological structures are just chance mistakes.

Literally no atheist I've ever met says that.

Please explain how life came from prebiotic earth.

I don't know.

I think we should have fun thinking about it. And I know I don’t know.

“The first gulp from the natural sciences will make you an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you.”

-Heisenberg

It’s just a quote… but it kind of reflects the “the more you know the more questions you have” philosophy

Questions are good. Questions drive me more then the answers. Cherishing life and the small moments like playing catch with my kids is what life is about. That's happiness. That's fulfillment. Death is just a friend you get to see again, since we were with death, oblivion, before conception anyway. Religion is a crutch based on fear, not enlightenment.

Christopher Hitchens started suggesting life on earth came from aliens because DNA code is too precise to not have intelligent origins.

If you want empirical evidence study DNA. It is a complex form of machine language that tells cells how to form complex processes and organisms. The amount of DNA information that exists in the world would fill libraries if written down. Hitchens saw that there was no way to explain DNA without God, so he careened into alien silliness before he died.

Interesting hypothesis but I think at the end of the day most can admit simply they don't know and there's nothing wrong with that.
