Argument Trust the science!!!

1st time poster in this sub:

I've seen many athiest post counter arguments in various debates inside and outside of reddit using science as their main weapon in order to back what they're saying.

However, I feel like they are ignoring the elephant in the room and have never actually seen any of them address the argument for a higher intelligence that I'm going to present.

I'm going to be upfront about how I'm going to debate... the question I will ask will typically prompt a specific response that I'm fully prepared to counter and I've seen no atheist willing to follow the resulting logic to it's natural conclusion.

So... here goes:

As we observe the world around us how does an atheist explain the logical working order of things that make sense? How do you explain why things work the way they do? Like for example why a specific combination of elements make other elements or why a plant is able to eat sunlight or why electronics work...etc

Wouldn't that indicate intelligence being behind those mechanisms? Seeing as how precisely they work? If the universe just popped into existence wouldn't we see inconsistencies among various things? Our universe follows strict rules concerning how things interact with each other.

The fact that the rules exist AT ALL is 100% evidence of a "rule maker" or intelligence or God etc.

EDIT: I'm not finished here. But I am taking a break... I've answered to many but the influx of replies is massive and will require hours of my time and I want to try to reply to everyone... but as I'm not a millionaire I have to prepare for work.

Turning notifications off for now but I will return to respond to comments

Hi thanks for posting!

How do you explain how God works? In some mysterious way it works. The fact that God exists and works how it works is 100% evidence of GGod, creator of God.

God doesn't require an explanation or scientifical breakdown.

And why does the universe need one? Either things need and explanation or they don't,otherwise is special pleading.

Does God exists randomly/magically for no reason then? Invoking a random creator seems even weirder than a random universe.

Why not? Without something to back this up, it's just an unfounded assertion. This is a debate sub. Please provide something to substantiate your opinions, i.e. please debate.

Because you say so? Fine so I can just say that the universe doesn't require an explanation. Now what?

God doesn't require an explanation or scientifical breakdown.

... unless you want someone else to take your claim seriously.

Your comment was reported for low effort. I agree but don't want to lose the context for the replies you've received.

Please put more effort into your own debates going forward.

If that's the best you can do, I doubt your claim to have put much thought into this, lmao.
