Just to chime in here, I don't think that the complexity of life is a clincher for existence of God. I don't think that humans are in a very good position to judge the complexity of things. A more intelligent creature might think the universe very crude and simple, and a less intelligent one might think it terribly complex. From a scientific point of view, I don't think we can judge how intelligent we are, so arguments around complexity don't necessarily help. As for evolution, well, I've seen it happen in the lab. I think it happens, and I think it's plausible that evolution is how all life as we know it today arose. I don't think we have really hard evidence for that yet, and just because a mechanisms _could_ have done something, doesn't mean it did. I can imagine a that evolution was a tool used to create life procedurally. If I was creating a universe, then I think I would use procedural generation! But here I am slipping in to assuming God created things in the same way a programmer creates games and simulations, which of course is pure speculation.
