Then how did they come into existence?
If you're asking how the universe came into existence, see my previous post where I discuss some possibilities:
Might the universe have had a cause? Sure. Is there any reason to think the universe is required to have had a cause? Not really. If causality is a property of the universe, it's a bit silly to talk about causality requiring a cause. It's also possible the universe in some form has always existed. In essence, there's no excuse for a hypothetical god not requiring a cause that couldn't also be applied to the universe. In fact, it might be fair to say the universe has always existed when time as we know it exists a finite amount backwards, but that's a matter of semantics.

If the universe did have a cause, there's no reason to think it wasn't a natural cause. Perhaps the natural cause to the universe has always existed in some form. Perhaps the cause is atemporal. Perhaps it's a causal loop of the universe in a future state causing the universe in a past state (e.g. something natural, or Stewie Griffin's time pad exploding and causing the Big Bang). We just don't know, and absence of an explanation is never a reason to believe another explanation.

I find it much easier to believe that an intelligent God whom we can't fully comprehend created everything than random chance with astronomically low odds in a process we can't fully comprehend.
If someone claims the human genome assembled spontaneously and suddenly, that person is an idiot. This is a strawman argument. Complexity does not equal intelligent design, and we understand how evolution by natural selection can account for the complexity of, for example, the human genome. Even if we had no idea how complexity could have arisen naturally, that's not evidence for supernatural causation. Absence of an explanation would never be evidence for another explanation.

People are not going to listen to you if you keep making insults. I have had quite that experience.

He keeps changing posts of people when he quote them, you'll be a victim of his stupidity as well eventually.

Wouldn't that make all of us inbred weirdos?
I've heard it explained like this: Incest is only bad because it makes it more likely for harmful mutations in our genes to be expressed. (Chromosomes are in pairs of two. If one doesn't properly "implement" something, like the chromosome for sickle cell anemia, the other covers for it. Incest makes it less likely for this to be the case.) Supposedly when God created us, there were no genetic mutations, and incest wasn't wrong. After Adam and Eve sinned, God stopped preventing these mutations, until finally they got bad enough for God to say not to do so.

https://answersingenesis.org/bible-characters/cain/cains-wife-who-was-she/

This of course brings back the whole evolution vs. creationism debate, which I'd like to try to avoid, because in the end it doesn't matter exactly how God created us as long as He did.

But there is no god?
Creationism vs evolution is no longer a debate, as by now almost everybody has probably accepted that fact that evolution is the truth.

There problem is there's no sound reason to think a god exists or did anything.
There is a critical transition between a chaotic state and when patterns start to exist. There is probably some conscious born during this phase that cause logic to exist.

Just block that idiot, I checked to see if he's acting less moronic now, but no, still insulting people who don't like his religion. He's just adding to the stereotype.

I mean the "you were born a monkey" guy.
