I do think that we have a general obligation to meet arguments of that kind and take them down in order to stop other people to spend time and effort spreading this. It's superstition. But unlike you I have found no reason to think that there must be any intelligence or any other entity that is resposible for that life of all those different beings on this planet excist. The DNA has been responsible for the development via the evolution and lots and lots of time. We are all, every kind of lifeform on earth, at the mercy of the experimenting DNA molecule. Darwin explained that a long time ago. Now that insight is of course not enough for most people (witch is the reason for that this nonsence of creation is still spread. They would like to think that we humans have been created for a special reason and with a special purpose that makes them feel more important. We, a lifform on a small planet that rotates around a small yellow midget sun in the outskirt of one of billion galaxies - the milky way. They also want to think that there is more. As humans we realise that life has not only a start, it has unfortunatelly also an end. That's for sure. Common for all religions is the comfort that they tell the story of a life after death in one form or another, but usually only for those that beleive in the right faith - all of them. In my mind this is diception in order for the priests to be able to keep their flock around them. Big organisations have been created for this pupose and for collecting fortunes. A person - any person- cought in a religion is not free in his or hers mind. It's locked up In some religions they are severly punished if they would dare to express any doubt in the priests explanations. The tribe kills him or her that dare to express any other idea or question than what is given as a religious rule. Look at all the places where unrest is going on and you will find that there are always a part of religious war going on. And for what? As there are no such thins as a god nor satan nor heaven nor hell. It's invented for religious reasons, so are people not mad? Yes they are and with their thinking locked up.
