Then you believe in god, how can you believe in the existence of nature and the natural way if you don't believe in an ultimate reality underpinning all that?
Because a scientific study of nature yields no evidence of any god, only of natural laws. Natural selection itself is just obvious - what works outlasts what doesn't work. No god needed for that.
Your faith in science is misplaced scientific study doesn't provide a logical reason why maximum pressure rise and mechanical leverage ALWAYS happens at 14 degrees after top dead center in an internal combustion engine regardless if it's rotary or reciprocating. There is NO explanation or theory that can explain why.
Natural selection is not obvious, an ecosystem is a complex web of variables, what works in one instance may not work in another. Natural selection is too slow a process to explain the adaptability of different sub species of the same animal.
Real reality is too far beyond your perception, but by indulging atheism you can claim to have all the answers, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary.
This is not to say that one should not even try because the reality is too far beyond you. No, I'm not saying that at all, the universe gives us every opportunity to discover its mysteries and it's given us the tools to try to make sense of all this. It is an imperfect process full of mistakes and errors, and in that process you slowly increase the resolution of the truth. This is growth, this is what drives us, therefore it is correct. It is a journey, the atheist only sees the destination.
Atheists don't claim to have any more answers than we have evidence for. Not sure if your thing about engines is even true, feel free to prove it.
Just because an ecosystem is complex doesn't mean it's not built from simple rules. Selective removal of bad genes and spread of good genes has been observed in nature, as have new mutations. Natural selection is not that complicated in and of itself, nor is it a particularly slow process. It takes about 40 generations of selective pressure to turn a completely wild species of mammal into a completely domesticated species of mammal. That takes a significant change in both the genes and epigenetics of that population but it can be done within a few dozen generations with a high enough rate of birth and selective pressure. The norm in nature is a high birth rate and death rate, almost all species have higher rates of birth and death than modern humans, and the higher the rate of birth and death, the faster selection works.
For reference, 40 generations is roughly 1000 human years. 1000 years of Romans was the difference between savage European barbarian tribes and the race that circumnavigated the globe first. There's about 30,000 years of natural evolution between Eurasians, Africans, and Native Americans, at least 10,000 years between different major Eurasian groups, and a few thousand years between different European nationalities, plenty of time to explain the amount of differentiation between different racial and ethnic groups within humanity.
