I don't accept the written narrative by the people that wrote the bible. Did Jesus exist, probably, but I have a hard time with the words about what happened, given that people are... people.
But I have a harder time thinking that even over a period of billions of years DNA can suddenly exist and do what it does - let alone for the physics of it all to allow all this to happen, and allow private thinking, etc... I don't think this is designless.
I can scarcely think of a person less likely to take up arms than Richard Dawkins, and yet somehow people feel free to take his words and label him a "militant atheist".

And you can't opt out of "something from nothing" thinking - you have to choose between "DNA from nothing" or "intelligent DNA-designer from nothing".

I was an atheist, but had no issues with my children becoming Christians. I think today's atheists think they need to be Richard Dawkins.
